At Extendicare Lethbridge, we strive to meet the care needs of our residents, families and our community.
Our professional staff, which includes occupational therapists, physiotherapists, recreation therapists, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, dietitian, pharmacist and social worker, provide care for individuals with many complex needs. Residents can rest assured that our competent team will manage their health and social needs.
Nursing Care
The goal of the nursing department is to provide a therapeutic environment with a holistic approach. Elements of care provided may include preventative, restorative, rehabilitative, supportive and palliative care, or a combination of these elements.
At Extendicare Lethbridge, registered nursing professionals are onsite 24-hours a day. Accurate record keeping is a component of our quality improvement process that ensures standards are maintained. 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.
Individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias can live life to its fullest in a safe, supportive and caring environment.
