Hope and Healing Through Connection
DHH is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing quality of life through the provision of non-medical support for those affected by or caring for an individual with a life-threatening illness, as well as bereavement support.
Welcome to Doane House Hospice
a division of Better Living Health and Community Services
Serving the communities of north Aurora, Bradford, East Gwillimbury and Newmarket.
DOANE HOUSE HOSPICE HOURS OF OPERATION.
Monday - Friday 8:30am - 4:30pm
CLOSED: Saturday, Sunday
Doane House Hospice promotes living every moment, and offers individuals diagnosed with a life threatening illness, compassion, support and hope.
Our programs and services are designed to support the individual by meeting their emotional, spiritual and physical needs. This gives the individual the ability to make the right decisions for their care, through being able to navigate the system, access the right care at the right time, and help support their family and friends through caregiver relief and bereavement.
Doane House Hospice is a volunteer based organisation and part of an interdisciplinary team that works towards helping our clients live life to the fullest with dignity, hope and comfort. Please click here for a short video on Doane House Hospice.

All Doane House Hospice Community Programs are on hold until further notice (i.e. bereavement visits, groups, home visiting volunteers etc.) While these programs are temporarily on hold, we are still providing wellness checks to all our Clients in the community to ensure appropriate supports are in place. Please contact your our office if you have any questions or require any additional supports.
