Extendicare Kingston is dedicated to providing the best individualized care, in an atmosphere of compassion and respect.
Nursing Care
At Extendicare Kingston 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 pride ourselves on providing nutritious home-cooked meals. Our visiting dietitian works closely with our caregivers to assess the nutritional requirements of residents and integrate their needs into a balanced nutritional meal plan.
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 home can be a very stressful process. Our social worker can help residents and their families become acquainted and accustomed to the new living environment.
The social worker, a member of our leadership team, provides supportive counselling, information and education with regard to adjustment, psychosocial, and financial issues, guardianship, trusteeship, and as needed referrals to appropriate community resources.

Resident Programs
Physical conditioning increases residents' feelings of independence and self-worth as they work hand in hand with our rehabilitation team.
Working with the restorative care team, staff conduct assessments and together with residents and family members, develop a suitable rehabilitation or restorative care program. Residents actively participate in walking programs, strengthening exercises, and speech language therapy in the comfort of our home.
We also provide our residents with social and therapeutic programs which meet residents' physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual needs. Extendicare Kingston values resident choice and lifestyle, which play a major role in program planning.
Activity programs are offered seven days a week and include: music, 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.
