    CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

    The FLTCA and its regulations expand palliative care requirements from the previous long-term care act. Palliative care has been added to the Residents' Bill of Rights which states it is the right of every resident to have provided with care and services based on a palliative care philosophy.

    Understanding palliative care is more than just end-of-life care.

    The palliative care requirements reflect a shift in practice toward a broader, more holistic approach to palliative care. They are consistent with the Ontario Provincial Framework for Palliative Care.

    Please see the attached information sheet from the Ministry of Long-Term Care.

    Update from the Ministry of Long Term Care, June 10, 2022:

    There are no changes in pandemic response requirements or measures for long-term care homes with this update as changes reflect the transition of authority from Directive #3 to the Minister’s Directive.

    • Homes must ensure that all staff, students, volunteers, and visitors (general or essential) wear a medical mask for the entire duration of their shift or visit indoors regardless of their immunization status (including in the resident’s room). These requirements also apply regardless of whether the home is in an outbreak or not.

    • Masks are not required outdoors for staff, residents, students, volunteers or visitors (general or essential), however outdoor masking is still recommended and encouraged where tolerated as an added layer of protection when in close proximity to others.

    • Removal of masks for the purposes of eating should be restricted to areas designated by the home.

  • Resumption of Hearing Aid Clinics

    Share Resumption of Hearing Aid Clinics on Facebook Share Resumption of Hearing Aid Clinics on Twitter Share Resumption of Hearing Aid Clinics on Linkedin Email Resumption of Hearing Aid Clinics link

    We will be resuming the hearing aid cleaning clinics offered free of charge by Hearing Life (formerly Kimberley Hearing Centre). The cleaning will be held off-site, starting May 13/22, and will be monthly moving forward (provided we are not in an outbreak status). The resident hearing aids will be collected in the morning and taken to the Clinic in individually labeled envelopes. The hearing aids can be expected to be gone for a few hours and will be returned after lunch. I know this will cause some inconvenience for some as they will not have their device, however, the benefits of the cleaning should outweigh this. If a resident declines to have his or her aid taken for cleaning, then they will be bypassed and we will try again at the next clinic.

    If you would like your loved one to be added to the clinic. Please contact Jennifer Carriere, ADOC at jennifer.carriere@muskoka.on.ca
