Need a place to stay while your loved one is in hospital?
To request accommodations for yourself or a patient, please complete our Guest Referral Form.
We are located near Hamilton General Hospital and can also accommodate families of patients being treated at the Juravinski, St. Joseph’s and St. Peter’s hospitals.
Important: If you’re completing a self-referral and this is your first time staying with us, your request must be approved by a member of your loved one’s medical team. We’ll follow up with the hospital directly to confirm eligibility. Please call us at 905-529-0770 should you have any questions.
When there is an accident or illness and a loved one is in the hospital, it is a crisis for the whole family — especially if home and friends are far away.
The Mark Preece Family House depends on donations from the community in order to continue to support families of critical care patients. The House is actively involved in fundraising, but we receive no government funding. Many organizations and individuals provide their support through sponsorship, donations, and special events.

All the features of the House are designed to enhance the comfort of the families in residence. The rooms are a place of privacy and rest for our guests. A kitchen is available for meals, snacks and friendly conversation. Common areas include a dining area, living room, laundry room and patio.
Become A Volunteer
The Mark Preece Family House began as a volunteer-led organization, therefore we recognize the huge contribution that volunteers make to a not for profit organization. We would not be able to provide a “home away from home” for families in need without a team of dedicated volunteers.
