My father came to Rose-Marie Care Home in the spring of 2014. He was very confused, depressed and in chronic pain due to a deteriorating disc and osteoarthritis in his lower spine. Heavy duty pain killers reduced the severe pain but left Dad very confused and agitated. Dee and her staff advocated reducing and as it turns out eliminating the pain killers.  In consultation with Dad’s new doctor in Hantsport, we now have weekly massage, special exercises and 4 daily doses of Voltaren applied to his back by the Rose-Marie caregivers. The new regimen has significantly reduced his pain and improved his quality of life. Dad is now lucid, able to walk, participate in conversation and enjoy excursions with his family. Simply put, he is a much happier guy. Thank you Rose-Marie Care Home.

If residents are able to rise, they are out bed every day. Although ability varies among residents, efforts are made by staff to engage residents in a wide variety of activities such as card games, reading, arts and crafts and even a few mundane activities.  My aunt’s more favorite activities involve drying dishes and folding towels because she wants to help out. There is also a program where musical entertainers are brought in, especially on Sundays.
