Welcome to Jessica’s House Hospice. As a nurse for approximately 20 years, my passion for caring for others and end-of-life care prompted me to join Jessica’s House Hospice’s team in May 2018. I have a Bachelor of Science in nursing and am CAPCE trained, which gave me a great foundation to care for those journeying to their palliative experience.
Supporting and listening to people’s stories throughout that journey, knowing I could not do that in the hospital, is what attracted me to end-of-life care. Because I have lived in the Exeter area my entire life and have two wonderful children, what better way to give back to my community?
As the Executive Director, I hope that our team can provide compassionate care for those who have been affected by a life-limiting illness from their diagnosis and to those caregivers after the death as well.

My name is Grace Winbow and I am the Coordinator of Volunteers and Bereavement Services at Jessica's House Hospice. I have been working at JHH since April 2022 and am committed to providing compassionate grief support to those in our community. I recognized the value of hospice and bereavement support in our community as I watched the development of Jessica's House Hospice as a community member, then volunteer. As a result, I directed my studies to become a part of this important work; I graduated with a BA in Thanatology and Family Studies and have since obtained a Certification in Children's Grief and Bereavement. Every death, dying, grief, and loss experience is unique, I am here to provide a safe and compassionate space for people during their most challenging moments.

My heart has always been with Jessica's House Hospice. After years of volunteering, I was thrilled to join the staff in May 2023.
My background in Advertising from St. Lawrence College allows me to share our stories in a warm and inviting way. But my passion goes deeper. A desire to truly understand end-of-life care led me to pursue a Thanatology degree at Kings College/Western University and my Death Doula Certification through Douglas College.
Every family, visitor, staff member, and volunteer has a unique story filled with love and compassion. That's why I'm so honoured to be Jessica's House Hospice storyteller and fundraiser. Through these stories, we connect with our donors and showcase the incredible impact of their generosity. Together, we ensure Jessica's House Hospice continues to provide exceptional care for those facing life's final journey with warmth and dignity.
