Established in 1985, Hospice Kingston has been providing comfort and support to people with life-limiting illnesses and their families for over 30 years. IBI Group is leading the functional programming and design for the first palliative care centre of excellence and residential hospice in Kingston, offering specialized care and personal support for patients seeking a comfortable home-like environment during their final stage of life.

The building siting, its architectural form and inherent materiality reinforce a sense of place within the local neighbourhood, broader community and the City of Kingston. The building’s design has been thoughtfully articulated in order to make the residents’ final days as comfortable as possible. To achieve this, the orientation of the building maximizes daylight and views to the majority of interior spaces while incorporating an energy efficient, passive solar design.

Each of the large, well-appointed bedrooms incorporate the latest hospice infection control design standards and provide residents with a strong connection to nature through individual bay windows. The component elements of the design, including materials of construction, finishes, textures, patterns, colours and lighting have been carefully selected and integrated to provide a warm, home-like ambiance.

We’re finding new ways to put patients first, and transforming the way we think about aging in place.

“IBI Group has gone beyond traditional design services to support the essential community development work which has taken community interest and concern for improving end of life care from concept to reality; supporting Hospice Kingston representatives, caregivers, residents and families on a journey of exploration and affirmation to inform the design of the new facility that will improve access to end-of-life-care. Throughout all phases of the project, IBI Group has been central to creating the reality of our hospice residence, always dedicated and committed to the needs of Hospice Kingston. I would strongly recommend IBI Group to other hospice and healthcare organizations to help realize their project vision and goals.”
