We believe in inclusive Care Planning. The Nursing team wants residents to be an active participant in their care. We encourage our neighbours, families and decision makers to be actively involved in helping us to establish an individualized care plan that meets residents' wellness needs.

This means:

• • Access to Personal Health Information – We welcome residents, power of attorney, next of kin, and/or executive decision makers to have easy access to health and treatment information.
  • A Care Partner Program – Our Care Partner Program is for family members, friends, and/or significant others who wish to take an active, and/or hands-on role in the care of a loved one. Care Partners are a valuable member of our care team and staff are happy to support you in this role.
  • Palliative Care Planning – We provide compassionate, person centred care to residents and their families who are facing life limiting illnesses. Our team is committed to providing a person-centred approach to Palliative and End of Life Care focused on not just the physical, but also the psychological, emotional, and spiritual aspects. End of Life Care Planning is extremely important to ensure that all needs are met during end of life.
