Home Nursing

Best place to work in long-term care. Friendly, loving towards the residents, always room for growth and learning.

Employee I've dealt with, Rod, first called me an idiot for asking him a few questions. Second point, his demeanor felt aggressive and not helpful.

In most cases the nurses that come to look after my father do a wonderful job, and are kind, warm and very good at their jobs. I appreciate everything they do. In all honesty, there has been one or two over the last year that I would not want to see back. My complaints are that up to about 2 months ago, we had the same nurse or two coming regularly, and were here usually in the morning. Most weeks we would get a call from the nurse coming, and would know what time of day to expect them. Things have changed and the last two months, don't think we've had the same nurse ever. My elderly father who has his personal needs also looked after, is so uncomfortable with a new nurse every week, that he comes up with excuses not be have his help bathing, as he explains, he finds it tough to get naked in front of a new woman every week. The other complaint is we never know when they will arrive. Last week it was 4:00 before anyone showed up, which means we sat at home all day waiting for someone to come. The nurse who did come, was one of the old regulars so that was great, however, she was not the nurse who was scheduled to come and that is why it was so late in the day. Today here it is almost 2:30, and we have had no contact from a nurse, so we wait, tried to call the office but went to voice mail. I understand the weather could be in play this week, but a part of me thinks that is just a handy excuse. So we play the guessing game.........who and what time today?

I found this information on their website. Specialized Dementia Care A concept of living in a small intimate homelike environment, especially for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. A safe, secure, stigma-free environment where the symptoms of the illness can be addressed in an empathic manner. Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia are not restricted to the elderly. That is why long term care institutions are not the ideal place for most people living with such a diagnosis. Early onset Alzheimer’s is on the rise, therefore it is important that accommodation is available so as to match residents with similarities, for example: age, stage of illness, hobbies, etc. We promote the dignity and self-worth of all our residents, and strive to assist each person so they may enjoy and have an excellent quality of life as defined by the residents themselves, both individually and as a group. We encourage resident and staff group discussions and decision-making. Residents have access to all areas of their home, and self-determination in activities, socialization, and food preferences. This is by no means just a care giving facility.
