Considering Long term care? WOULD YOU LIKE A TOUR OF THE FACILITY?
Let’s Make Healthy Change Happen.
Continuous Quality Improvement initiative:
This year we will focus our quality improvement plan on reducing falls, appropriate prescribing of antipsychotics, avoidable ER visits, unintended weight loss, and reducing infections. We are excited and committed to achieving many goals this year. As a home we chose these areas to focus on and make improvements through gap analysis during our annual evaluations, quality meetings and input from our resident council and family communications. Through our analysis we remain above the provincial average for falls and has one or more infections and as a committee we would like to further improve in these areas. Our home in collaboration with our IPAC lead are working towards decreasing current rates of infection while increasing hand hygiene compliance and vaccination rates. We continuously strive to improve resident experience and encourage residents to include their input by bringing forth their change ideas as well as any concerns or complaints. In our ongoing collaboration with our Nurse Practitioner and Physician we strive to keep residents in their home, potentially avoiding ER visits and aligning to their own individual expressed wishes which also contributes to a positive resident experience. The Registered Dietician within our home is instrumental in working within our interprofessional team to address all unintended weight loss for our residents. Our team addresses each individual resident according to their goals of care to develop a plan that suits their needs.
Quality indicators are monitored and trended monthly, reviewed quarterly by the Quality Improvement team and resident council for their valued input. Residents identified as requiring interventions and changes to their plan of care will be implemented immediately and communicated to team members with the individual care plans updated as a result.
This previous year’s resident satisfaction survey was completed July 13th, 2023. Results from the survey are as follows: “I can express my opinion without fear of consequences”: Resident response was, Always: 31, Most of the time: 3 Sometimes: 5, Rarely: 0, Never: 2, Don’t know: 3, Refused: 0, No response: 7. Responses were from all of our 51 residents
The results of the survey were communicated to residents, families, and staff members of the home through resident council and the homes communication board December 18th, 2023. The members of resident council were encouraged to bring forward ideas for changes they would like to see in the home. The Quality team brought forward the idea to ask each individual resident what their favorite foods were and to incorporate them into the menu and this was completed March 06, 2024 (for the spring/summer menu, starts Apil 01,2024). Resident council had no ideas for change but agreed with the favorite food’s idea.
