He knew, of course, that he was dying, and they helped bring him peace during his final weeks of life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those sentiments are echoed often by families, said Major Margaret Evans, the executive director of the local Salvation Army\u2019s Rotary Hospice House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen most family members visit the hospice for the first time they are surprised by how it feels,\u201d Evans said as she gave a tour of the cheery, sunlit facility. \u201cWe often hear them tell us that they love that it\u2019s a real home-like environment rather than a hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is a fireplace and comfy couches in the \u201cliving room\u201d, an open chapel and a lovely eating area. Evans went on to say that of its 10 beds, eight are reserved for Richmondites and two for Vancouver residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFamily members and pets can come at any time of the day or night and each room has a flip-out bed so that family can stay overnight if they wish,\u201d said Evans.<\/p>\n<p>However, the <em>piece de resistance <\/em>and Evans pride and joy are the flowering gardens. \u201cWe hired gardeners to create this beautiful and serene space,\u201d she said. \u201cWe purposely kept it a little rustic with weathered wooden benches and a gazebo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a resident once whose family opened up the doors of his room and wheeled him outside to enjoy the gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hospice, which is supported by Vancouver Coastal Health and the Rotary Club of Richmond, opened its doors in February 2006. It is an end-of-life palliative care facility for those with less than three months to live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince we opened our doors, we have cared for more than 300 people,\u201d said Evans, adding priority is given to those the integrated palliative care team believes needs it most.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach application is accessed by a team of professionals, including doctors and social workers, and no one is turned back if they can\u2019t afford it \u2026 we will absorb the costs,\u201d she said. \u201cAnybody is welcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Its philosophy, added Evans, is to walk beside each resident to facilitate a gentle closure to life, with comfort, values and decisions respected and families supported. The 24\/7 care team consists of a registered nurse, four LPN\u2019s, a chaplain, care aids and cooking staff. We also have on call a support team which includes an occupational therapist, four physicians, a social worker and a dietician,\u201d Evans said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also have a wonderful group of trained volunteers who act as companions for our residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen people cannot die at home or don\u2019t have a support system in place, we are here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if its ever a gloomy place, Evans said: \u201cThere are some tough days but it\u2019s hard to explain the atmosphere here \u2026 it really is a happy and warm environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To that end, the hospice does host concerts, as well as piano and children\u2019s recitals, for its residents.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s an opportunity for all local residents to come and discover what a warm and inviting setting the hospice truly is. The Rotary Hospice House invites everyone to come and visit the home during its <strong>second annual Community Garden Party<\/strong>, on <strong>Sunday, June 27<\/strong> from <strong>2 to 4 p.m<\/strong>. on its beautifully manicured lawns at <strong>6460 No. 4 Rd<\/strong>. There will be live music, strawberries and ice cream and a chance to meet the staff and walk around the grounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/britishcolumbia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/hospice2-1.jpg\"><img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-6804\" src=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/britishcolumbia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/02\/hospice2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"275\" \/><\/a>\u201cThis is a fun event to make residents are that we are here and to celebrate what we do here,\u201d said Evans. \u201cThere are many glimpses of happiness and peace amongst our residents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, call 604-207-1212 or visit the website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salvationarmyrichmond.org\/?page=hospice\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Salvation Army hospice volunteers\u2019 personal touches eases pain of transition Written by Michelle Hopkins Used with permission from Richmond News When Lesley Hicks much-loved father, 82-year-old Percy Hicks, became too ill to be cared for at home or in hospital, the family struggled with what to do.
