Floor Plan
Our History
October 2013
The Rotary Club of Stratford convened a public meeting that struck a steering committee to determine the feasibility of creating a hospice residence for Perth County.
November 2014
The steering committee submitted a proposal for a ten-bed hospice residence to the South West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN).
November 2015
As Perth County is part of the sub LHIN area of Huron Perth, the LHIN ultimately required a joint hospice residence proposal for the counties of Huron and Perth.
March 2016
The LHIN struck a hospice sub-committee to develop a joint unified Huron Perth solution resulting in the hiring of consultant Lough Barnes.
August 2016
Tri County Mennonite Homes generously leases, for $1 a year, the land for the new hospice residence at their Greenwood Court location at 80 Greenwood Drive in Stratford.
February 2017
The LHIN board approved Lough Barnes’ Business Plan and authorized operational funding for both an 8-bed hospice in Stratford and a 4-bed hospice in Central Huron.
June 2018
