Health services The Rotary Hospice House is staffed 24 hours a day with registered nurses and licensed practical nurses as well as care aides during the day. Physicians and the nurse practitioner oversee the medical care of all residents, with the participation of your family doctor, if requested. Upon admission, all medications will be dispensed by a pharmacy appointed by Rotary Hospice House.
A dietician provides nutritional information and support related to dietary needs and a social worker is available to help residents and families access resources and meet their psychosocial needs. We work closely with other health professionals from Continuing Health Services in Richmond as part of the Integrated Hospice Palliative Care Program. The coordinator of volunteer resources directs the volunteers who are available to provide companionship and support.

The director of care works closely with the team to oversee the physical care of all residents.
