Health Care...

Dr. Esther Krigstein is the Medical Director for the Home. She visits every Monday and Thursday morning on Unit I on a regular basis and is available for emergency consults at all other times. Dr. Mark Goldstein looks after the medical needs of Unit II residents and visits the Home every Wednesday morning. In addition, there are regular visits by a psychiatrist, dermatologist, ophthamologist, optometrist, dentist, denturist and laboratory technician to our Home to service our residents' medical needs.

Physiotherapy Service...

Physiotherapy service is available to all residents who have a Doctor's referral. The daily times for this service are posted on the monthly calendar. Monday, Wednesday & Friday mornings, and Tuesday & Thursday afternoons.

V.O.N. Footcare...

The V.O.N. Nurse comes to the Home every Wednesday morning from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. Check with your Unit Manager to find out when the VON will visit your unit. Dates are posted in the monthly calendar.

Nursing Department...

The goal of the Nursing Department is to assist each resident to attain and/or maintain their optimal level of health and self-care by providing medical services, nursing care, rehabilitation assistance and health counselling when and where necessary. Under the direction and supervision of the Director of Nursing, the Registered Nurses and Health Care Aides maintain round-the-clock care for those who require it.

This department experiences minimal staff turnover, which has allowed bonds to develop between these care-givers and residents. In turn, this helps to contribute to the friendly, homelike atmosphere that prevails.

Housekeeping Arrangements...

The linen on your bed and your towels are changed every week by the housekeeper in your particular wing. Your room is throughly cleaned, dusted and vacuumed once a week. When this is done it is well to leave your room and visit the living room or one of the many lounges, or better yet, take part in the program already in progress.
