| About
Lisaard House
In
1996, Sheila O’Donovan was invited to the Cambridge Memorial Hospital
(CMH) with a group of individuals, including Dr. Charmaine Jones, former
head of palliative care at CMH, to discuss the need for an alternative
to institutional and in-home care in Waterloo Region. The group discussed
a need to provide a choice for individuals and their families at a time
in life when few choices seem readily available. During
the following two years, Sheila and her husband, Val, offered a founding
gift and began the process of creating a charitable foundation to establish
a freestanding residential hospice in Waterloo Region. Lisaard House
was registered as a private foundation on August 1, 1998 and opened
its doors to its first resident in July of 2000.
Today,
Lisaard House is a freestanding cancer hospice providing quality end-of-life
palliative care for its residents; Lisaard House welcomes its residents
without charge to a homelike environment offering support not only to
the resident, but also their family. If you require any special assistance,
please let us know and we'll do our best to meet your needs. Lisaard
House is a non-profit, charitable organization (charitable registration
#872749536RR0001) without religious affiliation. |
