Extendicare Kapuskasing is dedicated to providing the best individualized care in an atmosphere of compassion and respect.
Nursing Care
At Extendicare Kapuskasing 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
Extendicare Kapuskasing provides nutritious home-cooked meals to our residents. 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.
Our Resident Food Committee consists of a dedicated group of residents who meet regularly to discuss and review the current menu. Changes to our menu are made as a result of the feedback that we receive from this committee. The total dining experience is important to us and is assured through ongoing communication and feedback.

Social Work Services
Admission into a long-term care centre can be very difficult for residents and their loved ones. Our liaison with the Kapuskasing Counselling Centre can help residents and families become acquainted and accustomed to this new living environment.
The Kapuskasing Counselling Centre is a surrogate member of our interdisciplinary team, providing supportive counselling, information and education with regard to adjustment, psychosocial issues, financial issues and referrals as appropriate.

Resident Programs
We believe that physical conditioning increases residents' feelings of independence and self-worth as they work hand in hand with our team. In the comfort of our home, residents actively participate in walking and exercise programs.
We also provide residents with social and therapeutic programs which ensure that physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual needs are met. Extendicare Kapuskasing values both choice and lifestyle, which play a major role in program planning.
Activity programs are offered seven days a week and include: dances, social dinners, shopping excursions, movie nights, Bingo, discussion groups, cards and games, theme parties, bowling, art classes and much more. Special occasions, holidays and seasonal events also contribute to the diversity of our programs.
