The Ottawa Mission Hospice was founded in 2001 by Diane Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Turnbull, and Wendy Muckle of Ottawa Inner City Health. It was the only hospice affiliated with a homeless shelter in North America until 2018.
The hospice was created following the care provided to a long-term shelter client named Tim who was dying of AIDS and wished to spend his final days with friends rather than in hospital.
The hospice provides end-of-life care grounded in compassion, kindness, mercy, dignity, community, and unconditional acceptance. Care is based on ensuring the dignity of all people, reflective of their inherent value as human beings.
The facility serves people experiencing homelessness who require palliative and hospice care.

Caring, wonderful people, who don't judge!! I've only met a couple of lazy people, and they work at night, so no big deal. Would have given it 5 stars, but can't trust the food! Been sick twice since getting here a week ago.m)l
