Kiwanis has made plots of land available to the residents to grow vegetables and flowers and everyone enjoys the gardens. I love the landscaping, the trees and flowers, and the view of the mountains.

Visitors to care homes need to be educated and supported in the importance of hand washing, and directed on how and where to wash their hands when visiting the care home. These survey questions on hand washing were asked only to the most frequent visitors . Food is a very important part of daily life in a care home. It is within this complicated context that the following questions were asked to determine how well care homes have coped with meeting a diverse array of wants and needs. Social engagement is increasingly being recognized as a significant predictor of health status in later years. Being connected to other people and feeling valued is a goal everyone hopes to achieve, regardless of their age.

Residents’ most frequent visitors , usually a family member, were also mailed surveys. More information about the survey may be found in the Office of the Seniors Advocate’s September 2017 provincial results report.

The event was sponsored by both the club and Target, where the shopping spree takes place.

This group of questions is designed to gauge the sense of personal control or autonomy residents feel they have over their day-to-day life in the care home. Being able to do what we want, when we want, is important to everyone regardless of age or where we live.

Family councils at care homes are composed of residents’ relatives or representatives. One of the key roles that a family council can play is to promote improved communication and collaboration between family members and a care home’s staff and management. This may involve working collaboratively on projects that enrich the lives of residents, making recommendations to decision makers, and communicating common concerns and ideas for improvements.

The risk of complications from infections is also increased in the senior population, as immune system function declines with age. Hand hygiene is one of the most effective and easiest actions that can be taken to reduce infections.
