Nursing Care
At Extendicare Haliburton 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.
Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can live life to its fullest in a safe, supportive and caring environment.

Dietary Services
We provide our residents with nutritious home-cooked meals. Residents are offered alternate menu choices at each meal and changes to special dietary needs are closely monitored by our medical and dietary staff.
Our food services staff works closely with our consulting dietitian and our Resident Council to review current menus and dietary needs. The total dining experience is important to us and is assured through ongoing communication and feedback.

Resident Programs
At Extendicare Haliburton we believe that physical conditioning increases our residents' sense of independence and self-worth as they work hand in hand with our rehabilitation team.
Our staff kinesiologist conducts assessments and together with residents and family members, develops a suitable rehabilitation or restorative care program. In the comfort of our home, residents actively participate in walking programs, strengthening exercises and speech language therapy.
