Where to Find Us

The hospice is located behind Greenwood Court and shares the same driveway entrance. Follow the Hospice signs past the age-in-place residence, and when the road curves right, you will see Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth on the left. Please park in the front lot and use the main entrance. The doors remain locked for resident safety, so please use the doorbell!

Visiting Hours

• Our home becomes your home; there are no strict visiting hours. Loved ones are welcome to visit at any time.

• At times, visitation recommendations or temporary restrictions may be put in place based on the resident’s wishes, comfort, energy level, or ability to tolerate visits. This is done to support resident-centred care and comfort.

• There is no set limit to the number of visitors a resident may have throughout the day

• We ask that all visitors remain mindful and respectful of the quiet, shared environment of the hospice

​

Children & Pets

We recognize that children and pets are often an important part of a resident’s sense of comfort, connection, and family life. Their presence can bring joy and meaningful moments during a resident’s stay.

• Children are welcome at the hospice when accompanied and supervised by an adult. We have a dedicated children’s area with toys, activities, books, and crafts that families are welcome to use during visits. Whenever possible, these items can also be brought into resident rooms to help children feel more comfortable and included.

• Our social work team has resources available to help support children’s understanding of illness, dying, and grief in age-appropriate ways. They are also available to help families prepare children for what they may see, experience, or feel during your loved one’s end-of-life journey.

• Visiting pets are also welcome. Pets must remain well-behaved, always supervised on a leash and up to date on vaccinations. A pet waiver form is required upon first entrance.

​

Food & Shared Spaces

• Each resident room includes a small refrigerator for personal food items, drinks, and comfort snacks brought in by loved ones. Families are welcome to bring outside food and personal comfort items. In keeping with public health and food safety practices, any outside food brought into the hospice remains the responsibility of the family and should be managed and monitored by them directly.

• Our self-serve family kitchen area is available 24/7 to support the reality that hospice care and bedside presence can occur at any time, day or night. This area includes snacks, drinks and frozen meals available by donation as needed.

• Families are welcome to utilize the hospice’s shared family and common spaces throughout their time at the hospice. We ask that these areas remain accessible, welcoming, and respectful of the needs of other residents and families also using the space.

​

Visiting During the Final Days and Hours

• When a resident is believed to be entering the last hours to days of life, loved ones are welcome to spend extended time at the hospice

• We understand how important it is to be together during this time. While there is no strict visitor limit, we may recommend visitors to rotate in and out of the room to help maintain a calm and comfortable environment for everyone.

• Space is limited, but we do our best to support loved ones being present during this important time. Resident’s rooms can typically accommodate approximately 2-3 additional loved ones overnight.
