At Meighen Health Centre, we understand that choosing the right long-term care option is a critical decision for seniors and their families. That’s why we offer a range of long-term care services designed to meet various health and personal care needs. Let’s explore the types of long-term care provided at our centre and help you determine who might benefit from each service.

Comprehensive Long-Term Care Services

  1. Skilled Nursing Care

  • Who It’s For: Ideal for residents who require 24/7 medical supervision and assistance with daily activities due to physical or health conditions.
  • What It Includes: This care level includes medication management, wound care, IV therapies, and regular health monitoring by qualified nurses.

  1. Memory Care

  • Who It’s For: Tailored for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or other memory impairments who need a secure environment and specialized attention.
  • What It Includes: Memory care programs focus on enhancing quality of life, reducing confusion, and providing activities that improve cognitive function.

  1. Palliative Care

  • Who It’s For: Intended for residents with serious illnesses, focusing on relieving symptoms and stress rather than curing the illness.
  • What It Includes: Emphasizes comfort and quality of life through pain management, emotional support, and spiritual care tailored to individual needs.

Choosing the Right Long-Term Care Option

Choosing the appropriate care option involves understanding the resident’s medical needs, personal preferences, and lifestyle desires. Here are some factors to consider:

  • Assess the Level of Care Needed: Evaluate the medical and daily assistance the senior requires. Skilled nursing care is more intensive than standard long-term care, which might be sufficient for those with less critical health issues.
  • Consider the Environment: Memory care requires a secure environment to prevent wandering and ensure safety. Ensure the facility can accommodate these needs effectively.
  • Plan for the Future: Consider how a resident’s needs may evolve over time. Facilities like Meighen Health Centre offer multiple care levels, making transitions smoother as needs change.
  • Involve the Senior in Decisions: Whenever possible, consider the residents bill of rights and involve the person who will be living in the facility in the decision-making process. This ensures they feel respected, their preferences are considered and everyone is on the same page.
