History 

JGH was originally opened as a hospice in 1992, providing end-of-life care to individuals during the early years of the AIDS crisis. Our palliative care program continues to treat individuals experiencing the end stages of chronic illnesses with dignity and care. These days, JGH is more often a temporary stop. Thanks to effective treatments, we can support people on their way towards living well and enjoying the next phase of their lives beyond John Gordon Home. No matter how short someone's stay, our loving home leaves a lasting impact

Funding

John Gordon Home receives funding support from Ontario Health West, Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care: Housing, and City of London.
