What happens if my child becomes ill at the Rotary Home?
We have a registered nurse in the Home or on call at all times. All our staff are trained and supervised by the Director of Operations & Client care, and all of our counsellors are required to have current First Aid and CPR certificates.
We will phone you at once if your child becomes ill during a visit to the Rotary Home. If we cannot reach you right away, we will contact your emergency contact person, the child's doctor, or take your child to CHEO, depending on the seriousness of the situation.
Unfortunately, we cannot keep any child who develops an infectious disease such as a cold, flu, tonsillitis, chicken pox, etc., as it would be unfair to both the other children and the staff at the Rotary Home. In such a situation, you would be asked to take your child home with you as soon as possible.
If you are going out of town while your child is staying with us, please leave the name of an alternative person who can pick your child up if necessary.
