A Home For Hospice
We are thrilled to announce that Coast Hospice plans to open the first residential hospice on the Sunshine Coast, in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health, before the end of 2026.
A Residential Hospice for the Sunshine Coast
With the community's unwavering support and a strong partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health, we are delighted to announce that a residential hospice will open in 2026 on the lower Sunshine Coast. We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to continuing this journey together.
Our First Residential Hospice: Mossy Rock in Roberts Creek
Over the next three years, we aim to transform this gorgeous home in Roberts Creek into a Residential Hospice that provides eight comfortable hospice suites and family gathering spaces in a beautiful, coast-like setting.
A Home For Hospice
Located in a quiet neighbourhood of Roberts Creek, surrounded by lush forest, our new residential hospice will offer a warm, home-like, supportive environment for individuals and their families during one of life’s most challenging times.
This new hospice will transform this large, existing home and surrounding gardens into a purpose-designed space featuring eight comfortable private rooms, dedicated spaces for visiting family, quiet reflection, and a range of therapeutic services designed to provide a meaningful and dignified end-of-life journey, making the most of every moment in the life that is left.
The new Hospice will double bed space on the lower Sunshine Coast for palliative care, which means we can alleviate some responsibility from the Sechelt Hospital, and Silverstone Care Center will be able to convert their current four temporary hospice rooms into long-term care rooms, creating more space for people needing nursing care.
Making the dream a reality
We are incredibly proud to bring this custom-designed, much-needed resource to our community. We have already secured two-thirds of the $6 million needed to complete and maintain the project in perpetuity and will reach out to generous donors in our community to raise the remaining third.
- Tess Huntly, Executive Director of Coast Hospice.
Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) will fund the operating costs of the new residential hospice, and provide $3 million towards the purchase and renovation of the building.
Our Society is responsible for raising the required capital from visionary private donors, foundations and governments to build and furnish the new residential hospice. For this, we have already raised $1 million, and will be launching a capital campaign to raise the additional $2 million needed. We will oversee the design and addition of the new facility to create an environment in harmony with the beauty and character of the Sunshine Coast.

Current Programming and Events
For more than 35 years, Coast Hospice has offered a wide range of support to people in our community during their end-of-life journey and to their loved ones experiencing grief and bereavement.
With more than 85 trained volunteers and a small staff team, we provide companionship and support to people in their homes, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.
We also create various programs to support the community, such as “Yoga for the Grieving Heart”, The Circle: A Wellness Day Program, Healing Arts Series and Grief Support Groups, hosted at Hospice House in Davis Bay or in community through partners.
These programs and services will continue, and our volunteers will continue to provide support for residents of the Coast wherever it is needed.
