The Care Centre’s staff have worked very quickly to ensure that you stay connected with your loved ones. Our new e-chat program aims to keep familiies connected to their loved one through regular audio or video calls. 

 

 

 

 

The Care Centre is extremely grateful to Svitlana Nalywayko, Board Member who launched the One of Us Christmas Campaign in 2019, aimed at helping isolated seniors. With funds raised from this campaign we were able to purchase Ipads, which we will use to make the video chat with your loved one possible. We also want to thank all of our donors who supported the One of Us campaign.  To learn more about this campaign click here.

 

The Care Centre was one of the very first long-term care homes in the GTA to provide this service. "I knew my Dad would get emotional, the opportunity of seeing his family (his grandsons, myself and our dog Milo) is something that I knew he would treasure. And I too was emotional after the video chat but our hearts are now warmer and grateful. Thank you to the Care centre for this opportunity which is SO MUCH appreciated", says Daria Olynyk, Family Member.

Only essential caregivers will be allowed in our home at this time. An essential caregiver is a type of essential visitor who is designated by the resident and/or their substitute decision-maker and is visiting to provide direct care to the resident (for example, supporting feeding, mobility, personal hygiene, cognitive stimulation, communication, meaningful connection, relational continuity and assistance in decision-making).

• Caregivers must be at least 18 years of age.
• A maximum of 2 caregivers may be designated per resident at a time. The designation should be made in writing to the home. Homes should have a procedure for documenting caregiver designations. The decision to designate an individual as a caregiver is entirely the remit of the resident and/or their substitute decision-maker and not the home.
• A resident and/or their substitute decision-maker may change a designation in response to a change in the:
  • resident's care needs that is reflected in the plan of care
  • availability of a designated caregiver, either temporary (for example, illness) or permanent
• Examples of caregivers include family members who provide meaningful connection, a privately hired caregiver, paid companions and translators.
