Our Commitment to Red Deer Hospice & our Community

As the COVID-19 situation evolves, please be assured we are monitoring the situation closely and our top priority is the health and safety of our residents, their families and our staff.  
 
Red Deer Hospice is committed to providing compassionate care so people can die in peace, comfort and dignity with support for them and their loved ones.  Our focus is on flexible and individualized care that is tailored to the resident’s needs. 

Visitors to Red Deer Hospice 
  • It is our commitment to consult with each family with a focus of compassion, support and safety.  We do this on a case by case basis through family meetings with our bereavement and nursing team.
  • We are encouraging one designated visitor per resident to provide companionship and support. The designated visitors are welcome to spend as much time as possible with their family member and we are fully equipped with our large rooms, our sofa beds and home cooked meals to accommodate 24-hour stays.
  • At this time, we are not allowing the general public to visit.  Each resident is able to have a limited number of visitors as chosen by the family and resident.  These visitors are welcomed on a screened and scheduled basis. 
  • All visitors will be provided with a mask to wear while in the house. This is for the safety of all.
  • If you are not feeling well, please do not visit.  

Red Deer Hospice In House Measures
  • Measures are in place to ensure additional hygiene steps are being taken to sanitize high traffic areas and high touch point surfaces. 
  • All staff must pass the AHS Daily Fit for Work Screening Questionnaire for Continuing Care before each shift and have their temperatures tested twice per day (temperature must read below 38 degrees Celsius).
  • You will see our staff continuously wearing masks.

The risks associated with COVID-19 has required us to modify how we deliver care and the number of programs and services we can currently offer in house.  As we have made modifications, our guiding principle is to balance compassion and safety.  We will never compromise the compassionate care and support for the resident or ensuring the healthiest grieving process possible for each individual family. 

Please call us at 403-309-4344 with any questions you may have.
