The Darling Home for Kids provides high quality respite and palliative care services for children who are medically fragile and technology dependent, many of whom suffer from progressive illness. Originally known as Rose Cherry’s Home for Kids, The Darling Home for Kids was built through the enormous generosity of a group of visionary donors and volunteers who understood the need for critically important respite and palliative care services.

The Home, which is nestled in a wood-lot setting amongst the rolling hills of Milton, Ontario, provides over 24,000 hours of respite and palliative care to families each year. In addition to our 4 respite beds and 2 palliative care beds, we are able to provide our clients with an activity room, snoezelen equipment to help stimulate the senses, and pet therapy to kindle excitement. Surrounding the Home, we have a number of therapeutic gardens, a wheelchair accessible swing, playground, trail, and waterfall for endless adventures year round.

We are excited to announce that construction has commenced on Phase II of The Darling Home for Kids, which will bring the addition of a much needed family room, a multi-purpose craft room, and 6 additional beds.
