Hospital Care

Although most patients prefer to be cared for at home, they may be admitted to one of our 17 in-patient beds for any of the following reasons:

• Assessment
• Management of pain or other difficult symptoms
• Respite care to allow a one-week stay with us while caregivers get a rest
• Ongoing care for people who are unable to remain at home

Our beautifully refurbished In-Patient Unit in the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s Richmond Pavilion is as home-like as possible. It includes a family lounge with a television, DVD and stereo equipment, children’s toys and games, a well-stocked kitchen, a quiet/meditation room, a solarium with computer/internet access, a smoking area for patients only, and a beautiful rooftop garden. Eleven of our patient rooms are private rooms that feature televisions, small fridges, radio/CD players and sleeper chairs where visiting family members can stay overnight if they wish; three rooms are semi-private rooms without sleeper chairs. Visiting hours are unrestricted, including for children and pets.
