Community-Led Care for Life's Final Chapter
Our Origin Story
LJM Memorial Hospice exists because of the way our community showed up when it mattered most.
When my husband Liam was dying of brain cancer, it was the people around us—friends, neighbours, even strangers—who held us together. Their kindness, meals, care for our kids, quiet support… it gave us strength. But not everyone has that. And even with all that love, we still didn’t have a space that let us stay close as a family in those final days.
LJM Memorial Hospice is our way of giving that back. It’s a place where care isn’t limited in anyway, but woven through connection, compassion, and community. Because no one should face the end alone—and everyone deserves to be held with dignity, comfort, and love.
Our Values
These four values guide every decision we make:
Community
We believe healing and comfort are made possible through human connection. Our community is at the heart of everything—our supporters, volunteers, neighbours, and the families we serve.
Dignity
Every person deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued—especially at the end of life. We prioritise respect, gentleness, and care for all.
Connection
From child to elder, patient to family member, nurse to volunteer—everyone belongs. We design spaces and experiences that encourage togetherness.
Choice
End-of-life care should reflect the values and wishes of the individual. We advocate for more options—spaces that feel like home, moments shared with loved ones, and the freedom to shape this time in a way that feels right.
