Do you have nurses 24/7?
No; if you are staying with us for respite care we will have a support service worker or nurse available 24/7. If you are staying with us for end of life care we will have a palliative care trained volunteer stay with you and your nursing care is done by the Mansfield Visiting Nursing Service.

We provide equipment on a no charge, short term basis. Donations, however, are most welcome.
Do I have to deal with dying people to volunteer at Rosehaven?

Can I bring my dog?
Yes, if it is well behaved and gets along with others.
How much does it cost to stay at Rosehaven?
We do not charge for our end of life services, however donations are always welcome. We rely on philanthropic support, bequests and donations to fund our operations.

Does a medical person have to refer me to your services?
No, we accept and encourage self-referrals.
