Special and therapeutic diets and nutritional dietary supplements are provided as recommended by the Dietitian.

It is important to understand that staff monitors each Resident's food intake as part of their care plan and to encourage health and well-being. Our Registered Dietitian devotes time to each resident to ensure special nutritional needs are met in accordance with Ministry standards.

We encourage visitors and family members may purchase a meal ticket and dine with their loved ones. Tickets are available at the administration office. 24 hours' notice is required for guests.

It is acceptable that a visitor may feed the Resident food prepared or purchased outside the Home, however we recommend that nursing staff be advised as some Residents may have food restrictions or special needs (i.e. diabetic diet, choking risk, swallowing difficulties, modified textures, etc.). Outside foods cannot be stored in the Home's refrigerator for health and safety concerns, nor can it be permitted in the main dining room due to allergies of others.

Housekeeping

housekeepingHousekeeping services are provided daily. They are responsible for keeping bathrooms, sitting rooms, dining areas, all rooms and hallways clean and safe. Residents, if able, are encouraged to arrange their belongings and keep their own room tidy.

Clothing requiring dry cleaning, hand wash, wash cold, hang to dry, lay flat to dry, wool, suede, and silk is not recommended. Other facility linens are contracted to an outside linen service. Staff is not responsible for mending clothing. MVL is not responsible for lost or damaged clothing. If you do not want your loved one's clothes laundered at the Home, please notify staff, supply an in-room hamper for soiled laundry and ensure sufficient clothes are available to the Resident at all times. Click here for a list of suggested clothing.

Environmental Services

Recreational Services Programming

Image of entertainer singing to a residentResident Services philosophy is to encourage our Residents to maintain their unique person-centered identities and lifestyles to ensure a future of dignity and compassion. Staff strives to provide a comprehensive program designed to meet the social, spiritual, physical, recreational and emotional needs of our Residents. Under the direction and supervision of the Resident Services Supervisor, many programs are offered on a daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal basis aimed to promote and fulfill the Residents' intellectual and cultural needs.

A few of our weekly programs include Bingo, Knitting Club, Euchre, Various Music Programs, Pet Therapy, Gardening and Pub. We have regular Crafts, Residents Council, Community Outings, Baking, Exercises, and Outdoor Walks. Our programs are delivered through one-to-one sessions as well as small and large groups. We are very grateful to have many volunteers who work closely with us to assist and facilitate many of these recreation programs, one-to-one visits and special events.

On each unit, you will find our Recreation Boards. These boards show what is going on each day of the week. We also circulate the monthly recreation calendars to each resident room and e-mailed or mailed to families. Recreation calendars are also able to be picked up in at the Home.

 

Behavioural Support Ontario (BSO)

Maple View Lodge has a BSO Team

The BSO team consists of Recreation Programmer, Resident Services Supervisor, Recreation Aides, RN, RPN, PSW’s, Housekeeping, and Co-Director of Care.

What is BSO?

BSO stands for Behavioural Supports Ontario.

The government has provided funding in Lanark Leeds and Grenville for select Long-Term Care (LTC) homes to have an in-house BSO team. BSO supports residents, family and staff in the LTC homes with non-pharmacological intervention to responsive expressions.

What is a responsive expression?

Responsive expressions have been identified as the following:

Agitation, wandering, sexual behaviour, sundowning, repetition, aggression, hallucinations and paranoia, "I want to go home".

What does BSO do?

Provide information to families upon a new resident’s arrival.

Monitor and support a resident during transition into home.

Provide support to staff, resident and family through education and information sharing.

The BSO team meets weekly to collaboratively develop strategies for non-pharmacological interventions and person-centred care as well as consult with Psychogeriatric Resource Consultant, Mobile Response Team and Geriatric Psychiatry when needed.

A BSO team member will be present during the care conferences of residents who have had interaction with the BSO team.

Example of a supportive intervention to a responsive behaviour:

Expression: “I want to go home”

Meet the resident where they are; How do you feel coming home after a long day? For most of us, it’s a sense of relief or contentment. You are in a safe place and surrounded by people and things that put you at ease. When a family member says “I want to go home”, they want these same feelings.

How to help:

Consider possible causes:

  • Fatigue
  • Over-stimulation 
  • Asking the person to complete an unfamiliar task

Strategies:

  • Watch your tone of voice and body language. Speak calmly and use short sentences.
  • The home a person speaks of may be where they grew up. Use this to start a conversation: “Where was home? Did you grow up in the city or the country? What was your favourite thing to do when you were there?” Even if you know the answers, still ask.
  • Acknowledge their anxiety.
  • Provide reassurance.

Don’t: Explain to them that this is their home now and they have nowhere else to go.

Do: Acknowledge their feelings. “It must be hard to want to go home. Can you tell me about your home? Where did you live? What did you like doing there as a kid?  Do you have any siblings?”  Reminisce even if you know all the answers; you want them to feel safe and at ease as if they were at home. You might even hear a new story!

Our Community Resources and Supports include:

Psychogeriatric Resource Consultant, Providence Care

Mobile Response Team Nurse, Providence Care

Geriatric Psychiatry Nurse, Royal Ottawa Hospital

Restorative Care

The Restorative Care Program is a mixture of physical rehabilitation and sensory cognitive activities. The program enhances the Recreation Programs with mobility in walking and fine motor skills.

Volunteer Services

Image of food at luncheonVolunteering is the most fundamental act of citizenship and philanthropy in our society. It is offering time, energy and skills of one's own free will. It is an extension of being a good neighbour and choosing to help others.

Maple View Lodge is thankful for the volunteers who are instrumental to the Home and who can be seen supporting residents through a wide variety of tasks such as Recreational Programming, Fundraising, Meals in the Dining Room, Palliative Care, The Tuck shop, Pet Therapy, Spiritual Programs, Special Events and much more. Maple View Lodge is very fortunate to have the Volunteer Auxiliary (see next section) at the Home. Maple View Lodge honours our volunteers with an annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.

Maple View Lodge is always looking for more volunteers. Legislation requires that a police check is required for all volunteers. If interested in volunteering, complete the application form and mail to the attention of The Resident Services Supervisor, Maple View Lodge or email to: Brittany.knowles@uclg.on.ca

Resident Council

All Residents of Maple View Lodge may become members of Resident Council.  If the resident is unable to understand or participate in the meetings or if the Resident wishes, a family member is invited to attend as an advocate in their place.  The meetings are held on the first Monday of every month (second Monday in the event the first Monday is a statutory holiday).  Dates, times and locations are posted on the bulletin boards on each Resident Home Area and in the monthly Recreation Calendar.

Those attending the meetings are brought up to date on events in the Home and are informed of any changes that may be up coming.  Managers from each department attend on invitation and provide updates as well. 

Residents are given the opportunity to formally express their wishes and concerns.  Any suggestions or complaints are printed in the minutes of the meeting and directed to the appropriate departments for action and follow-up.  A response to all suggestions or complaints will be given to the Residents within ten (10) business days, as per Legislation.
