Nursing Care
At Extendicare Laurier Manor, we achieve our 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.

Social Work Services
Admission into a long-term care centre can be very difficult for residents and their loved ones. Our social worker can help residents and family members adjust to this new living arrangement.
The social worker, a member of our interdisciplinary team, provides supportive counselling, information and education with regard to adjustment, psychosocial issues, financial issues and referrals to appropriate community resources.
Social work services strive to enhance the quality of life of all those who live, visit and work at Extendicare Laurier Manor.

Dietary Services
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 a best-suited nutritional plan of care.
The total dining experience is important to us and is assured through ongoing communication and feedback.
Changes to our menu, plans for special themed meals and service improvements are made as a result of the feedback that we receive from our Resident Food Committee.

Resident Programs
We believe that physical conditioning increases residents' feelings of independence and self-worth. Working with the rehabilitation team, a staff kinesiologist conducts assessments and together with residents and family members, develops a suitable rehabilitation or restorative care program.
In the comfort of Extendicare Laurier Manor, residents can actively participate in walking programs, strengthening exercises and speech language therapy.
Laurier Manor also provides residents with social and therapeutic programs. Certified activity aides are busy ensuring that residents' physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual needs are being met. We value our residents' choices and lifestyles, which play a major role in program planning.
Activities are offered seven days a week and include: dances, social dinners, shopping excursions, movie nights, bingo, discussion groups, cards and games, theme parties, bowling league, art classes and much more. Special occasions, holidays and seasonal events also contribute to the diversity of our programs. We encourage family involvement and participation in any of our activities or events.
