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 care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 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 approximately 16,000 Ontario children requiring this level of care.
