If Resident Requires Oxygen
Lisaard
House has an agreement with VitalAire to supply oxygen needs and services
for the residents at Lisaard House. If the resident is presently receiving
home oxygen from another provider, VitalAire can help transition the
resident from their current supplier.
Medications
All
prescriptions and supplies are provided by Preston Medical Centre,
the present CCAC provider in the Cambridge area. If a patient is coming
from a hospital setting, the prescriptions will need to be faxed to
Preston Medical at 519-653-9232 prior to the patient's arrival. Lisaard
House does not keep stock medications; delivery from Preston Medical
is usually late afternoon or early evening. Residents are encouraged
to bring their current medications from home.
Transportation
Lisaard
House prefers that residents be transferred early in the day. If a
resident is coming by “About Town” from home, families will need to
make such arrangements. Arrangements should also be made for someone
to bring a resident's personal belongings from home.
CCAC
Lisaard
House assumes that all residents coming to the hospice will be on
CCAC services prior to admission to the Hospice.
Other
Considerations:
- Lisaard
House is not on a bus route and it is a considerable walk from the
closest bus stop; as such, families who do not drive will need to
make appropriate arrangements for transportation to and from the house.
- Because
Lisaard House is close to a highway and woods, a person who has wandering
behavior may not be appropriate for a Lisaard application.
- Because
of the location of Lisaard House and the fact that there are only
2 staff members on at night, a patient with extremely aggressive behavior
may not be appropriate.
