Residential Care
Residential Care, also known as long term care or complex care, is for those who require 24 hour monitoring and on-going assistance with daily living. The need for residential care may stem from cognitive deficits, lack of independent mobility, or inability to dress, bathe, or use the washroom without assistance; and where the combination of needs requires the availability of care at any time during the day or night.
The safety and well-being of residents is our paramount concern. We have Registered Nurses, Practical Nurses and Registered Care Aides on duty 24 hours a day to attend to the residents needs and provide care and support.
Our residential care neighbourhoods offer private bedrooms with a hospital bed, an armoire for clothing.
Residents and families are encouraged to bring a few small pieces of furniture, pictures, lamps and other favorite personal items.
There are fourteen rooms in each of our eight neighbourhoods with four neighbourhoods having one double room.
The two floors of care have four neighbourhoods each with access to lounges, balconies and patios.
Each neighbourhood has a dining and lounging area, a fire place, a high definition smart TV and space for activities and socializing.
