All children are loved, accepted and valued members of their communities.
We provide a safe and inclusive environment where kids with diverse needs learn, grow and thrive.
We believe in the inherent value of every life by creating a family environment through trust, respect, fun and exceptional care.
As a charitable organization, Hope’s Home provides care where kids with complex medical and typical needs learn, grow and thrive. Hope’s Home is a national leader filling a gap that exists in child and infant healthcare, with on-site nurses that provide medical care to children and support for families outside of a hospital setting.
Children with complex medical needs are kids who have a chronic or progressive medical condition that may become unstable, resulting in a life-threatening situation. Hope’s Home provides the nursing care, support and monitoring that these kids require. Families have a safe and inclusive environment for their children to play and be kids regardless of any medical needs they may have.
The staff at Hope’s Home consists of Administrative Assistants, Nurses, Early Childhood Educators, Physical Development Consultants, Recreation Programmers, and Developmental Workers.
Hope’s Home was founded in 2005 by CEO Jacqueline Tisher. Jacque’s eyes were opened to the world of complex medical care for children after the birth of her first daughter Acacia in 1993 who was born with spina bifida. Early in life, Acacia blessed so many friends, family and complete strangers with her joyous attitude and grace. Her dreams were larger than life and she believed anything in this world was possible.
Being a mother to Acacia inspired Jacque to become a foster mom and in 2003 she welcomed Hope Dawn Marie to her family. Hope’s life was beautiful but short. In February 2004 she passed away at just 10 months old, spending much of her life at the Regina General Hospital.
During her time with Hope, Jacque quickly realized that the care available in a hospital setting was not available to families with kids who have medically complex needs at home. Bridging the gap of community healthcare, childcare and proper funding is where the idea of Hope’s Home began. All children like Hope deserve a home and a family to love and care for them.
In Hope’s honour, Hope’s Home opened its doors in Regina on November 1, 2005. Today Hope’s Home gives children the opportunity to be kids, and families the chance to be families across Saskatchewan.
