Ministry of Long Term Care Inspections and Reports
All LTC homes in the province are subject to unannounced inspections by Ministry of Long Term Care inspectors. The inspections could be related to concerns, critical incidents or a Proactive inspection could be completed. To date in 2023, Fairvern has had 2 inspections completed, one, a Proactive Inspection and, two, an inspection related to a concern.
The reports generated from these inspections are public. They are posted in the home on a bulletin board on the Main Floor by the lounge. They are also available on this website, http://publicreporting.ltchomes.net/en-ca/default.aspx.
The results of the inspections are shared with Residents Council, Family Council and staff as well as the plans for improvement based on the findings.
Should you have any questions, please contact Carrie at ext. 4308 or stop by.

For the time being, we have developed a plan to help assist families have their loved ones hair looked after. Families can arrange for an outside hairdresser to come in and use the hair salon. To book the hair salon please call Mary Woodruff at 705-789-6011 extension 4339 or by email at mary.woodruff@fairvern.ca. We ask that a family member be in attendance to bring their resident to and from the appointment. The screener will assist in opening the hair salon. We ask that the family and or hairdresser sweep up the hair. We will look after sanitizing the room after each use.
