Medications and External Medical Appointments For the safety of residents, all
prescription and over the counter medicines and ointments are stored The nursing staff have requested that when residents have external medical appointments, family members inform them at least two days in advance so that the transfer summary, medication list and consent form can be prepared. If at the appointment, surgery is scheduled, it usually needs to be planned two weeks ahead of time. This will enable the preoperative blood work and ECG to be booked and completed in time. Visiting Hours Residents can be visited daily
from 10 AM to 9 PM Wheelchairs and
Special Equipment Residents sometimes require specialized
equipment. Because every resident’s needs are different and because the Home has
only very limited storage space, we appreciate your consulting with our
physiotherapist before you purchase such equipment. Supervising Physician Each resident may continue under the
supervision of his or her family physician if that physician agrees to comply
with Ministry policy. If the family physician is unable to attend to a
resident’s medical needs, the administrator will arrange for another physician. Personal Clothing All personal clothing must have the
resident’s name affixed for proper identification. When gifts of When the sad day comes that the resident leaves the Manor, we ask that family members remove the personal possessions as soon as possible. There are about a hundred people waiting to come in, many somewhat desperate, so we do not have the luxury of delay. We are often asked if we will accept the personal clothing for other residents or a charity. We regret that we cannot. We ask that families bring suitable containers and take the items to the charity of their choice. Married or Same-Sex
Couples Accommodation for couples is available at
the Home. However, each spouse or partner must be admitted individually as
vacancies occur. Every effort will then be made to place couples in the same
room when requested. Health Care Services The resident’s physician must approve all health-related procedures. Foot care, laboratory and pharmacy services are available at the Home, but in some cases extra charges may apply. Appointments for extramural services like eye doctors, dentists and the like are arranged by the nursing staff of the Home, but the family is responsible for transporting and assisting the resident when making use of extramural services. Allowable Personal Belongings Residents may bring the following items when they move
into the Home: * one regular size easy chair |
