Care & support
Nursing care is provided around the clock by registered staff and personal support workers under the Director of Care, with an on-site physician and nurse practitioner.
Registered staff administer medication as directed by the physician. Bathing, basic toiletries, medical supplies and continence care products are included in the monthly accommodation fee.
Residents are assessed by a physiotherapist on admission and may receive physiotherapy or rehabilitation activities, either on their home area or in a fully equipped rehabilitation room.
A palliative care team of staff and volunteers supports residents and families, and overnight visits are permitted.
Some specialists offer video appointments through the Ontario Telemedicine Network, which reduces the need for residents to be transferred to medical appointments.
Services such as foot care, massage, and hearing and eye care are brought in from outside providers and carry additional charges.
Admission applications are coordinated through the North Simcoe Muskoka Local Health Integration Network, which determines eligibility and provides the home with a priority list.
