Daily Activities and Special Events

We are pleased to share that our home is preparing for CARF Accreditation (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities). This accreditation process is an opportunity for us to demonstrate our commitment to providing the highest quality of care and services for our residents.

For the past 5 months, our team has been gathering information, reviewing our practices, and ensuring that we are meeting CARF’s standards of excellence. 

CARF places a strong focus on resident-centered care, dignity, and quality of life. Your experiences and feedback are very important to us, and we may reach out to you for input as we move forward.

We are excited about this opportunity to highlight the great work being done in our home every day and to continue improving the services we provide.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we prepare for this important milestone.

Warm regards,

Holly Speedie

Family Council has collaborated with Hospice Services of the City of Kawartha Lakes to offer education sessions for both residents and family members.

The first session is tentatively scheduled for Sunday, September 28th from 2:00–4:00 p.m. The topic will be “Palliative Care vs. End-of-Life Care” and will highlight the importance of advance care directives.

Refreshments will be provided, and all are welcome to attend.

Our Family Council is always looking for new members to help make our community a great place to live, visit, and work. Please reach out to Holly Speedie at hspeedie@kawarthalakes.ca

Virtual Visits continue to be offered by the Life Enrichment Team at Victoria Manor. The team would like to thank the family members who have reached out to set up video calls. The schedule fills up quickly which means we have happy residents who get to see the faces of their loved ones.

Virtual visits are available from Monday-Friday and occur using Facetime, Zoom, or the Facebook Messenger Video function. There is some flexibility with days and we will endeavor to accommodate requests wherever possible. Thank you in advance for your patience.

If you are interested in setting up a virtual visit with your loved one, please send an email to the Life Enrichment Supervisor, Rachel Edmondson at redmondson@kawarthalake.ca.
