TOGETHER, Let’s Open The Doors to Mossy Rock Hospice and Keep Our Loved Ones Close
Every one of us will know someone who needs this kind of care—a parent, a partner, a friend, perhaps even ourselves. Mossy Rock Hospice will provide a legacy of compassionate care for all of us, and for generations to come. Join us!

LET’S OPEN THE DOORS TO COMPASSION AND CARE
End of life can be a time of profound emotional distress and difficult decision-making. With only four temporary hospice beds located in a long-term care centre on the Sunshine Coast, families who can no longer cope at home could be faced with entering the hospital or relocating to the Mainland. With your help, no one will have to make that choice.
With a dedicated home for hospice care on the Sunshine Coast, families will be able to navigate this challenging time with the support they deserve. In 2024, in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health, Sunshine Coast Hospice Society acquired a beautiful 1.5-acre residential property in Roberts Creek to develop a purpose-built hospice.
Mossy Rock Hospice will be the Sunshine Coast’s first and only purpose-built home for individuals nearing end of life and those who love and support them. This new home will double our community’s capacity to provide hospice and palliative support and strengthen the services already offered through our program centre in Davis Bay and in the community.
Features include
Eight prvate suites
Well-equipped central kitchen and coffee nook
Tranquil gardens
A family room
A spa bathing room with a tub to ease pain and soothe anxiety
JOIN US TODAY!
We are nearing completion thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our donors and the unstoppable dedication of our community’s volunteers, trades, and businesses. We have less than $400K to raise to achieve our $7.85 million goal. This is our chance. A home for hospice has never been this close to reality. This home will serve the Coast for generations to come. We invite everyone who values the Sunshine Coast to make a special one-time gift for a lasting impact on this wonderful place.
We welcome pledges spread over 1 or 2 years. Gifts $1,000 and above will be recognized on a permanent installation in the hospice garden.
YOUR GIFT WILL BE MATCHED
The first donations totalling $100,000 will be matched by a group of generous donors. This means your gift will go twice as far in helping us reach our goal! Every donation matters.
MOSSY ROCK HOSPICE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE
My brother wanted to die at Kelowna Hospice House where his family could be with him while his care and comfort was managed by medical staff. The hospice halls were quiet, and the staff were calm and friendly. It felt safe. There were no machines, no beeping or loud noises, just a calm, home-like atmosphere. This allowed us to focus on providing loving touch and conversation to ease his journey home. I am so proud that our Sunshine Coast community will have Mossy Rock Hospice, so my friends and neighbours will have the chance to receive the same compassionate support when the time comes.
