Living in long term care

Long term care homes, sometimes referred to as nursing homes, offer support for seniors and other residents who are no longer able to safely live independently. The decision to move to long term care is often necessary due to increased medical needs that family members are unable to provide because of accessibility issues in their home as well as physical constraints.

Long term care homes can assist families with their loved one’s care needs when they are unable to be there and ensure a safe environment for residents to continue to be the people they have always been.

Safety of long term care

Long-term care homes provide 24/7 nursing care and supervision, primary medical care, help with daily activities and interests, and a safe, caring home environment. While most of us hope we can remain at home, it’s simply not a reality for everyone. At our long term care homes, resident safety is our top priority and we create opportunities for meaningful interactions that help to nourish our residents’ minds, bodies and souls.
