(Kyle’s email to come)

As members of our care team, Daisy and Kyle are companions for our residents, their families and visitors. They also provide support to those attending grief and bereavement sessions and assists our staff and volunteers as needed.

Daisy and Kyle are C.O.P.E. trained Service Dogs and will be on-site throughout the week to provide support at the Hospice Simcoe Residence as well as our Community Support location.

How We Die: A Good Dog

Enjoy this video featuring our very own COPE Service dog, Daisy, in this heart-warming production of:

How We Die: A Good Dog (10/11)

More and more hospices are utilizing therapy dogs as palliative care support during end-of-life care. Travelling through the halls of Hospice Simcoe, Kitbad Productions captures Daisy visiting with patients and family. Her visits can evoke positive memories for patients of their own lives and her calming nature helps ease anxiety and fear. Daisy also provides support for families who are visiting their loved ones during their last days.

* During filming, Kitab Productions implemented a COVID safety plan in accordance with Public Health Orders and advice alongside the COVID-19 Safety Guideline for the Film and Television Industry in Ontario. This included cast and crew COVID testing, physical distancing, sanitizing, masks, minimizing crew requirements, and adjusting locations.
