Life at our Long-term Care Homes
Our homes feel like homes should - warm, welcoming, safe, and comfortable. When you move into our home, it becomes your home. We encourage you to bring your favourite possessions along with you. Decorate your room with your family photos, a favourite chair, an heirloom quilt - with whatever that you hold dear.
A vibrant life
The VIBRANT model of care at our homes represents a bold evolution in how long-term care is defined and delivered. The model is one that places our residents firmly at the center of all we do.
The term VIBRANT was selected by our residents and honours the richness, energy and individuality of each resident's life journey. It recognizes that even as our residents transition into later stages of life, their stories, passions and sense of purpose continue to thrive.
Life does not simply slow down in long-term care – it transforms. In our homes, aging is embraced as a time of meaning, connection and continued growth.Â
Connection and community
Family, chosen family and friends are always welcome in our homes! We encourage them to become part of the home's community and continue to play and active role in your life.
There are many opportunities for loved ones to participate in special activities and events, such as holiday parties, picnics, outings, dining experiences as well as join you in the daily activities that bring you joy and comfort. We also encourage them to become part of our valued team of volunteers.
Our homes have many community partners that are part of the home's community., including:
- Service clubs, organizations, faith groups and legions
- Brock University and Niagara College
- EarlyON child care, elementary and secondary schools
Your rights as a resident
The Residents' Bill of Rights is a provincial document which details your rights as a resident and the responsibility of the home to respect, promote and support those rights. All residents have the right to be treated with respect and courtesy, recognizing a resident's individuality and dignity, to be free of physical or mental abuse and the right to participate in decision-making.
