The extensive Care Team at the residence includes: a Medical Director; attending Physicians; Registered Nurses (RN); Registered Practical Nurses (RPN); Personal Support Workers (PSW); Dieticians; and Recreation Therapists.

Physicians:
Our Medical Director and Attending Physicians are available to serve the residents’ medical needs.  The home’s physician visits regularly and provides 24 hour emergency coverage.  Families wishing to connect directly with the home’s physician should speak with the Registered Nursing Staff to make arrangements for appointments.

Nursing Services
Registered Nurses, Registered Practical Nurses and Personal Support Workers / Health Care Aides are available 24 hours a day 7 days per week to provide care and assistance. A Registered Staff member who is a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) oversees each resident home area. Registered staff is responsible for the day-to-day functioning of the resident home area as well as distributing medications and administering treatments. A Personal Support Worker/Health Care Aide provides direct care, such as bathing, grooming, toileting, mobility assistance and assistance with meals.

Our nursing services department uses a Primary Care model. This means that the resident will be assigned, as much as possible, a consistent Primary Caregiver for both the Day Shift and Afternoon Shift. The primary caregiver will provide consistency to the resident’s daily routine. Research has shown that all residents benefit from a certain degree of predictability. A familiar face on a daily basis provides comfort to someone who is experiencing various challenges of aging. The Primary Caregiver gets to know the resident in ways that allow us to individualize each resident’s routines.
