Huron Shores Hospice planning to add third suite at Tiverton Park Manor

Plans are under way for a third residential suite at Huron Shores Hospice, located at Tiverton Park Manor.

A press release from the hospice states this will increase its capacity for end-of-life care and provide a home-like, dignified space for residents and their families. "We are grateful for the continued encouragement from our community and look forward to sharing more progress as the year unfolds."

As it looks ahead to 2026, the hospice is reminded that the foundation of its care has always been rooted in the voices of those it serves. Public feedback, lived experiences and participation continue to shape how hospice care and community support evolve in the region.

This year, the hospice will be expanding its programs and bringing them into new spaces throughout the community. This includes more grief supports, education sessions and continued offerings, all at no-cost, as well as the opportunity for people to access these resources closer to home. Reducing barriers and increasing comfort is an important part of the hospice's commitment to accessible care.

"None of this work is done in isolation," states the press release. "The future of rural hospice care is shaped in partnership with the people who rely on us. We are deeply grateful for your continued involvement, whether you have participated in a program, joined a group, volunteered, donated or shared feedback with us. Your voice matters to us and it has a real impact on how we grow."
