About Rosewood

Rosewood Manor is a vital not-for-profit community resource providing funded intermediate and complex care for 152 residents and 4 private beds.

Rosewood provides residents with 24-hour nursing care and supervision, recreation programs, and support services to residents and to the community at large to ensure the highest quality of life while promoting individual dignity within a familiar and comfortable environment.

Rosewood integrates physical, cognitive, emotional, social and spiritual components into the residents’ lives to better address a full spectrum of care needs.

Opened to serve the community in October, 1982. Rosewood originally had 120 single rooms on 2 floors. In 2004, Rosewood entered into a partnership with Richmond Health Services and the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority to add 30 new beds, for a total of 155 intermediate/complex care beds and 1 respite bed. In 2019, the respite bed was converted to a funded bed.

Rosewood is governed by the Richmond Intermediate Care Society, a non-profit organization, operated by a volunteer Board and funded by the Ministry of Health.

The Rosewood Manor Care Foundation, created in 2000, is a valuable source of supplementary funding to help ensure that Rosewood is a place that people are proud to call home.

Philosophy of Care

At Rosewood Manor, we value resident’s family and friends. We believe residents who have the support of family and staff make a better adjustment and enjoy a better quality of life.

Just as families are not able to meet all of the needs of their loved one, Rosewood Manor’s staff is also not able to meet the full spectrum of our resident’s needs. Experience shows us that when we work in partnership we can form a stronger support for our residents and give them the best possible quality of life.

Our approach to care focuses on flexibility to meet individual resident needs as they arise as opposed to a fixed schedule.

Aging in Place: At Rosewood we believe in aging in place because we see that moves can be traumatic for residents. Whenever possible, we strive to keep our residents at Rosewood until they no longer need our care.

People Centred Care- DementiAbility

Dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life.

DementiAbility is a person-centered philosophy of care that uses details about our resident’s past and present and observations of their current behaviours to adapt our approach to improve their quality of life. The purpose is to create an environment where people want to live, work, and visit.

Sensory Programs: based on Dementiability practice:  staff prepare the lounge (e.g., music, TV, aromatherapy) then engage residents in their preferred individual and group activities such as games, colouring, reading, sorting, matching, puzzles, Ipad, food.  

Sensory Environments: prepared areas within our home, with various resources. (games, tactile, coffee house, spa, music, sensory walls, art) to promote resident, family/friend and staff engagement.
