Welcome New Member: Hospice Muskoka: Enhancing Palliative Care Through Partnership

Press Release

For nearly three decades, Hospice Muskoka has been a pillar of support for individuals and families facing life-limiting diagnosis in South and West Muskoka. Through the dedication of healthcare professionals and volunteers, the organization ensures that every patient receives care that respects their wishes and enhances their quality of life.

In October 2020, Hospice Muskoka opened Andy’s House, a specialized palliative care home built in partnership with the Potts Family Memorial Foundation. Andy’s House serves residents of Muskoka Lakes, Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, and Georgian Bay Townships, including Wahta First Nation and Moose Deer Point First Nation, as well as their families.

Andy’s House is the first hospice in Ontario to have a Nurse Practitioner (NP) as the Most Responsible Provider/Prescriber (MRPP). With a dedicated team of specialized palliative nurses and Personal Support Workers (PSWs) providing 24/7 care, the facility is dedicated to ensuring patients receive the highest standard of care and comfort.
