Patients and Resident Services

Riverview Health Centre offers the little extras

The extra services are those which people living in their own homes take for granted, such as cable television, a bedside telephone service, a neighborhood hair care salon or access to the Internet. Making services such as these available adds to the quality of life for individuals at Riverview Health Centre.

Other services include:

Cable Television


For Patients on EW Rehabilitation Units:
We offer a cable television service to our patients on our rehabilitation units, providing access to a variety of news, movie, entertainment and documentary channels.  Cable television can be purchased for a one-time, non-refundable rate for the duration of the patients stay.

Payments can be made by cheque, debit or credit card to the Communication Clerk at the Information Desk in the main Centre building. Payment can also be made at our Finance Office in the Princess Elizabeth Building from Monday to Friday (except statutory holidays), from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.  The Finance Office will also accept cash payments.

For information on obtaining cable television service, ask the clerical partner on the unit, or call the Information Desk at 204-452-3411.

For Residents on our AB and CD Units:
If you or your family member will be living at Riverview, you are welcome to bring in a tv, however you are responsible for making your own arrangements with the service provider, i.e. Shaw, for cable connection service. In addition, televisions are also located in the lounge areas.

Telephone Services


For Patients:
We offer our basic bedside ‘Dial 7 Service’ to patients on our rehabilitation and palliative care units.  For a one-time cost, service is available for the duration of your stay in our hospital.  The service allows you to make local outgoing calls by dialing ‘7’ then the area code and seven-digit telephone number.  You will be able to receive incoming calls (both local and long distance) directly to the seven-digit number associated with the set in your room.  You decide who to share your number with.

To arrange for the service, see the Communication Clerk at the Information Desk in the main Centre building.  They will initiate the service for you.  Upon receipt of payment, the phone can be enabled immediately. There is a clerk available from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. every day, including weekends and holidays to set up the service and receive non-cash payments.   Payments can be made by cheque, debit or credit card at the Information Desk.  Cash payments can be made at our Finance Office in the Princess Elizabeth Building from Monday to Friday (except statutory holidays), from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
 
For Residents:
If you or your family member will be living at Riverview, arrangements can be made with your local service provider, i.e. MTS, for telephone service.  All of our PCH resident rooms have a jack already in place to accommodate this.  You will need to provide your own telephone set.
