Fairvern Redevelopment

Construction on the new Fairvern continues to move ahead. We have created a Redevelopment update wall in the lower level next to the Family Room. New progress photos will be added on a regular basis and we welcome you to take a look when you are visiting.

Ministry of Long Term Care Inspection

Two inspectors from the MLTC were on site in December for 4 days to complete a complaint inspection. The report will be received in January and results will be shared.

Resident Engagement Survey

Our Resident Engagement survey will be closing on January 12. Please take time to complete with your loved one or on behalf of your loved one. This information provides valuable feedback for improvements at Fairvern.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

Nurse Practitioner

Please welcome Fairvern’s new attending Nurse Practitioner, Jennifer Juzytsch. Jennifer is with the Nurse Led Outreach Team (NLOT) through OSMH and will work closely with Fairvern’s physicians and staff to provide exceptional care. She will be visiting the home every Monday and Wednesday going forward. In this new role, she will assess/diagnose/treat any acute, episodic concerns that may occur for the residents, as well as support advanced wound care and any additional resident needs that arise in collaboration with the team. The purpose of the NLOT is to support facilities to avoid unnecessary emergency department transfers, repatriation from hospitals, and keeping residents in their home. As this new partnership unfolds, Jennifer looks forward to meeting and working with residents, family, and staff at Fairvern. Welcome to the team, Jennifer!

Post Christmas Resident and Family Christmas Party

Due to the outbreak we had to postpone our Resident and Family Christmas party back in December. We are happy to announce that we have rescheduled the party for Wednesday January 17th at 2 p.m. in the Rose Room. Please see the attached document. We look forward to seeing everyone then.
