OVERVIEW

About Matthews House Hospice:

Matthews House Hospice is a 2-star charity with reasonable overhead costs and best practices in financial transparency. However, the charity's results reporting grade is below average as it reports little information on its programs and their results. 

Founded in 2004, Matthews House Hospice (MHH) is a charity that provides medical care to people with life-limiting illnesses. MHH is in Alliston, Ontario, and mainly serves people in Simcoe County and surrounding communities. Its hospice building is 27,000 square feet and consists of a 10-bed hospice floor, a community program floor, and basement with activity spaces and offices. MHH has two main programs: Residence Services and Community Services.

The Residence Services program provides full time care for people at the end of their lives in MHH’s residential hospice building. In F2021, MHH cared for 170 clients in residence, for an average length of 18 days per person.

The Community Services program offers support to people with a life-limiting illness, caregivers, and people who have lost a loved one. This includes the Hospice at Home program which provides around-the-clock palliative care for people in their own homes. It also includes a variety of mental health and counselling support groups for caregivers and family members of terminally ill people. In F2021 the Hospice at Home program served 227 people. Mental health support groups served 2,013 clients in F2021.

MHH did not provide a spending breakdown of its programs on its website.
