The Project
SHI is planning a six-bed residential hospice that will reflect the values and traditions of the region, and provide the compassionate care founded in our principles. Initial plans include a community kitchen, a sofa or murphy bed for families in each room, meeting and office facilities, and a children’s play area. There will be garden entrances for each room.
