About Us

As Ontario’s first paediatric hospice and respite centre, The Darling Home for Kids was built on 77 acres of woodlands to provide essential care to families facing the daily challenges of caring for a child with complex medical needs. Requiring around-the-clock care, the parents of these special children need support. Currently, we are one of only three homes in Ontario providing highly specialized paediatric hospice and respite services, and the only Home to also offer long term residential care. This means our organization is truly one-of-a-kind, and in very high demand, with thousands of children in Ontario requiring this level of care.

The birth of or discovery that a child has a serious medical condition has a profound effect on a family. As parents begin the process of continuous adjustment, they need social and community supports. At The Darling Home for Kids, these children and their families receive much-needed services as they navigate a new and unfamiliar world. From respite services where parents and caregivers can take a much-needed mental and physical break, to educational training and bereavement support, The Darling Home for Kids is there – to take care of families when they need it the most.
