A person’s final days can be scary enough. After all, there is a lot going on and a lot to process, both for the person and those who love them. If we have the choice, we want to be surrounded by the comforts we know and love, with as little pain as possible.
Since 1996, the team at Rosedale Hospice has worked tirelessly to provide care above and beyond our patients’ medical needs. We create a home-like environment for our patients in a residential hospice. We provide lasting memories for our patients and their families, tailored to their wishes. We believe that these final months, weeks, and days of life are incredibly important for both the dying patient and those that will be left behind.
Many believe that our hospice is fully funded by the government. While Alberta Health Services provides important contract funding, we must fundraise to keep up with the increased costs of providing exceptional patient care and operational costs.
OPERATIONAL NEEDS
Your gift will help to support the food costs of our customized patient meals, the staffing costs for the medical, spiritual, and housekeeping teams, and the rising costs of utilities to keep patients comfortable all year long.
RESTORING ROSEDALE – A CAPITAL CAMPAIGN TO CARE FOR THE HOME WHERE WE CARE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
Rosedale Hospice is aging.
Renovations of the seven patient rooms are in progress as of July 2024 and are expected to be completed by the end of the year. We are actively fundraising the remaining 20% of expenses for this project.
Over the last ten years, we have gradually been updating the house. Projects have included a new nursing station, renovating the chapel, building a locked med room, new kitchen, renovated entrance and reception, updated back entrance, the 2nd floor washrooms, renovated library/family room, adding air conditioning units to each patient room, and the creation of a staff room.
The patient room remodel will be completed by the end of 2024. However, several other building upgrades, such as the elevators, the boiler system, exterior building maintenance, and a new accessible patient shower room, have yet to be completed.
As the building ages, costly upgrades and renovations are needed. Because providing excellent patient comfort and care is at the centre of everything we do, there is a need to address current and future patient comfort today.
Your gift will ensure that someone’s final days are meaningful and comfortable.
