Medical mask policy in effect during respiratory illness season
Masks are currently required in all patient care areas of hospitals, long-term care facilities and community health-care sites and clinics. Please do not enter these facilities if you have cold or flu-like symptoms, such as runny nose, sore throat, fever, cough, shortness of breath/trouble breathing, diarrhea or vomiting. Do not enter these facilities if you feel unwell, no matter how mild the symptoms.
Visitors to long-term care and seniors’ assisting living facilities need to wear a medical mask in common areas and when participating in indoor events in common areas.
Thank you for helping keep patients and staff healthy this season.
The mission of hospices within VCH is to create a unique environment for quality living and dying as individuals approach the end of their lives. Everyone involved in the journey – the individuals, their families and staff- is provided with the level of support and assistance they need.
VCH hospices focus on quality of life and ensuring the comfort of residents and their families. While each hospice strives to create a homelike environment, they are staffed with a team of skilled care providers available to support the needs of the residents and their families. However, like a home, there are certain things hospices cannot do, such as major diagnostic tests and complicated treatments.
The care services and support available in VCH’s hospices will be provided in ways that recognize and respect death as a natural part of the life cycle. Because people are coming to hospice at the end of their life, the care provided extends beyond medical services typically available within the health care system and involves a more holistic approach that supports people as they transition to end-of-life, including cultural, spiritual, and psychosocial needs.
