Before Moving into Haro

Before moving to Haro Park Centre, we suggest that some decisions be made ahead of time. Decide which small pieces of furniture to bring and which clothes will be needed. When moving into Complex Care, you will not need items such as kitchen utensils.

Labelling: Before you come, have your hearing aide, glasses, dentures and equipment (walker, wheelchair, cane) professionally labeled. Haro Park Centre cannot be
responsible for lost or stolen items. Proper labeling ensures identification of ownership of items.

Meals: Haro Park's kitchen serves 3 meals a day and 2 daily snacks with tea and coffee. Friends and family are always welcome to join you for meals for a nominal cost. Meal tickets for friends and family can be purchased at the main reception desk.

Moving Out: When leaving or moving from our Campus, all belongings must be removed. Donations of clothing and/or medical equipment are not accepted.
