Mission
Roger's House enriches the lives of children, youth and their families facing progressive life-limiting illnesses. Roger's House was built in memory of Roger Neilson--Hockey Hall of Fame Coach and Member of the Order of Canada.
Our team provides respite, end-of-life, transition to home support, pain and symptom management and bereavement care by ensuring individualized physical, emotional and spiritual support in a caring, compassionate and continuous learning environment.
Our reward is the peace and comfort of every child, the creation of memories for their families and honouring the legacy of Roger Neilson.
Vision
Roger's House will be recognized for providing excellence, innovation, research and leadership in pediatric palliative care through a full-spectrum of family-centered services in a supportive home-like environment. Our dynamic, integrated team will collaborate with, and be accountable to, our families and community partners.

Roger Neilson was well known for his generosity, humanity, sense of humour, compassion and love of children. These values as well as the following will govern our daily work with families, community and each other:

Philosophy of Care
Roger's House is about living life to the fullest. The experience of a "home away from home" fosters freedom, security, pleasure, and quality of family life. Children, youth and their families living with a progressive life limiting illness are entitled to access comprehensive palliative care services. This timely, holistic, patient and family-focused, culturally sensitive care is enhanced by the experience of Roger's House.
