Your Stories

Family members, volunteers, and caregivers tell their stories.

Meet our September Volunteer of the Month: Tim Elliott 🎶

This month, we’re celebrating Tim Elliott, one of our talented piano volunteers, and someone who truly answers the call when we need him most.

When a hospice family requested a specific hymn for their loved one’s honour walk, they knew they wanted the comfort of music, but were too emotional to sing themselves. With just 10 minutes’ notice, Tim arrived at our hospice home, took his place at the piano and helped make their wishes possible.

As the family said goodbye, Tim played the requested hymn and led our hospice team in singing alongside him. His steady presence and musical gift created an incredibly emotional and special moment. This is just one of many examples of how Tim helps make every moment matter for those in our care.

Tim, thank you for your quick response, your generosity, and your willingness to share your time and talent with our hospice community. Your music brings comfort in moments when words simply aren’t enough.

We’re so grateful for you! 💙

Care doesn’t only happen within our hospice walls. 💙

Through our Visiting Hospice program, trained volunteers bring companionship, comfort, and support into the homes of individuals living with a life-limiting illness. They also provide caregivers with something just as valuable: time—to run errands, attend appointments, or simply recharge.

Because no one should have to face this journey alone, this program is offered at no cost thanks to the generosity of our community.

Caregivers: this program’s for you. 💛

In this video, Community Outreach Coordinator Chelsey shares more about Caregiver Connection, our new free support group for people who provide care or support to someone living with a life-limiting illness or aging-related decline.

Caregiver Connection is a space to connect with others, share experiences, learn about resources and take some time for yourself.

And we know that taking that time isn’t always easy. If you’re concerned about leaving the person you care for alone, a visiting hospice volunteer may be able to spend time with them while you attend the group. ❤️

You spend so much time caring for someone else. Caregiver Connection is a chance to make space for you, too.

With sincere gratitude to Shannon, Andrew, Zach and Josh for their generous gift to our Every Day Counts campaign, made in loving memory of Judy Young on her birthday. Today, we remember and celebrate a life that continues to inspire and is deeply missed.

Your gift helps make every day count and every moment matter. By donating $350 to our Every Day Counts campaign, you help fund one day of care for a resident room, providing comfort and support during life’s most tender moments. Your gift is more than a donation; it’s a heartfelt tribute to someone you love and a way to ensure others receive compassion and dignity when they need it most.

Rotary Hospice offers care at no cost to residents, but relies on your generosity to bridge the funding gap. Together, we can ensure this sanctuary continues to serve our community with dignity and love. Learn more at www.rotaryhospice.ca/every-day-counts or reach out to lucie@rotaryhospice.ca

🐾 Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today, we’re celebrating three very special members of the Rotary Hospice family, our therapy dogs Archie, Bruno, and Ellie! 🩵

Their weekly visits bring comfort, connection and plenty of smiles to residents, loved ones, volunteers, and our staff. Sometimes a quiet moment beside a furry friend is exactly what someone needs.

Did you know pet dogs and cats are welcome at hospice too? We know how much comfort our own pets can bring during difficult moments.

Here’s to the unconditional love, gentle companionship and joy that our furry friends bring, and the way they help make every moment matter for those in our care.

There’s something pretty special about gathering together on a beautiful summer day, and even more so when you’re surrounded by the people who help make hospice care possible.

Our staff and volunteers recently came together in the Serenity Garden for a summer BBQ filled with good food, laughter, conversation and plenty of time to simply enjoy each other’s company.

We’re so grateful for the incredible people who give their time, energy and heart to Rotary Hospice. Days like this are a wonderful reminder that caring for our community starts with caring for one another.

Here’s to summer, connection and the people who make every moment matter.

A refreshing stop in the Serenity Garden 🌿

These two beautiful golden retrievers, Holly and Rosie, belong to one of our wonderful hospice volunteers, and a wander through the Serenity Garden has become part of their morning walk. They always respectfully stick to the paths, and on this particularly hot day, they made a little detour to the fountain for a refreshing drink.

Their human joked that she hoped this little pit stop wouldn’t get them kicked out of the garden, but we’re happy to report that these lovely pups are welcome anytime. 🩵

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed to ask for support. 💙

Caregiving can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging. Having a space to talk, connect and feel understood can make a difference.

That’s why we’re launching Caregiver Connection, a new free support group at Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth for people caring for a loved one.

In this video, Registered Social Worker Jaclyn talks about when a caregiver might benefit from support. She and Community Outreach Coordinator Chelsey will facilitate the group together, creating a welcoming space to connect with others who understand the caregiving experience.

📅 Beginning in September
💛 Free to attend

You don’t have to navigate caregiving alone. Join us for Caregiver Connection.

Thank you to Joan MacDermid for her meaningful donation to our Every Day Counts campaign in memory of Angus MacDermid on August 21. Today, we reflect on the life of someone cherished and profoundly missed.

The Every Day Counts campaign invites individuals to donate $350 – the amount needed per room, per day – to sustain care provided at Rotary Hospice. While government funding covers part of our costs, community support is essential to maintaining our high standard of compassionate care, offered at no cost to residents.

Some of the most important conversations in life are also the hardest to start.

Many people don't realize what hospice care truly offers - or even that there is a hospice right here in our community. We offer free presentations for community groups, workplaces, and organizations, creating space to learn, ask questions, and feel more prepared.

Topics include advance care planning, hospice care, grief and bereavement, estate planning, and more.

Whether you're looking to support your team, your clients, or your community, we're here to help.

To learn more or request a presentation, visit www.rotaryhospice.ca/request-a-presentation or email chelsey@rotaryhospice.ca

Being a caregiver doesn’t always look the way you might expect. ❤️

You might be helping a parent with appointments, supporting a partner through an illness, checking in on a friend, managing medications, preparing meals, or simply being there when someone you love needs you.

And you might not even think of yourself as a caregiver.

In this video, Registered Social Worker Jaclyn talks about what it can mean to be a caregiver and how recognizing yourself in that role is an important first step.

Because caring for someone you love can be meaningful, but it can also be a lot to carry. You don’t have to carry it alone.

Caregiver Connection begins in September. For more information, contact referrals@rotaryhospice.ca
