Nursing Care
Extendicare Halton Hills achieves its nursing care goals through the Wellness Model of Care. Care goals are determined with the resident and family, as well as other members of the interdisciplinary team. Desired levels of independence, dignity, and personal preference are all part of the planning process, making each resident feel welcome and at home, while meeting their specific needs. This is achieved through Extendicare programs like Health Trac, Guardian Angel and C.A.R.E.

Professional nursing staff are onsite 24-hours a day. Care aides provide hands-on care at the bedside, assisting residents with the essential activities of daily living. Accurate record keeping, as a component of our quality improvement activities, ensures that provincial, regional, and Extendicare standards are met, reviewed and evaluated on a regular basis.

In keeping with our Gentlecare philosophy, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can live life to its fullest in a safe and caring environment. Our specially trained staff continue to promote resident independence by providing them  with the assistance that they require.

Dietary Services
At Extendicare Halton Hills we pride ourselves in providing nutritious home-cooked meals. Our in-house registered dietitian assesses the nutritional requirements of our residents. Together with our residents, families and registered team members, our dietitian develops the best-suited nutritional plan of care.

Choice and individual preference is considered in menu planning and changes are made as a result of the feedback that we receive from the Resident Food Committee. The total dining experience is important to us and is assured through ongoing communication and feedback.
