Corporate Mission Statement The Region of Peel will serve its growing community through commitment, partnership, innovation and excellence.

Teamwork

We practice teamwork, cooperation and collaboration, and reinforce these with a strong vision and positive leadership.

Our Commitment to Excellence Sheridan Villa is an accredited Long Term Care Centre that is owned and operated by the Region of Peel. Sheridan Villa with pride, asks the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation to conduct an in-depth evaluation of our care, programs and services to determine that Sheridan Villa is meeting or exceeding the standards set out by this national independent body of professionals. We have successfully received the highest award from this organization.

Updated: June 24, 2010 4

Our Model of Care Sheridan Villa offers a model of care that supports the residents’ level of cognitive, physical ability, social, emotional and spiritual needs, strengths, values and desires. The care team utilises principles of continuous quality improvement to promote efficient and effective service delivery by way of ongoing monitoring and outcome analysis. Residents reside within the home based on their level of care needs and cognitive function. Transfer may occur from unit to unit, based on assessment of care needs, cognitive function and safety requirements. We have adopted the Edenization principle which places emphasis on the residents’ quality of life. The physical environment of the home is made more home-like with the addition of plants, greenery and animals. Families are welcome to bring their pets into the home for visits.

Management Team Our management team is made up of experienced professionals who are available Monday to Friday to answer your questions:

Administrator Director of Care Supervisor of Activation & Volunteer Services Supervisor of Business Services Supervisor, Adult Day & Community Services Social Worker Dietary Services Supervisor Facility Services Supervisor

A current telephone contact list is inserted for your convenience and also posted on the “Family News Board” located in the front hallway.

The Activation Therapists play an integral role in planning and providing appropriate activities to promote the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual needs of each resident. Together with residents, families and other members of the care team, the Activation Therapists develop suitable programs. Some of our popular programs include: bingo, monthly birthday parties and outings such as shopping and dining out.

Tips for Visiting – For Family and Friends It is often a difficult time when individuals and families realize that their loved one requires more care than they can receive while living at home. The decision to have your loved one move into a long-term care centre is not an easy decision to make and it is important to understand the change that will transpire. At our Centre, we recognize these challenges and are here to assist you in making this transition as smooth as possible. There are some ways that your participation can assist your loved one in their transition of their new home:

It is important that you maintain some normalcy for your loved one such as: Communicating to them through frequent visits, phone calls, notes, cards or any other means that

you have customarily used. Remembering significant events such birthdays, anniversaries, holidays. Encourage visits from your extended family such as grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. Help your loved one personalize their new room by bringing their favourite chair or dresser and

pictures and paintings for the walls and perhaps their favourite comforter or blanket. Personalize the “Memory Box” which is located outside their bedroom with their favourite items. Participate with your loved one in recreational programs. Plan visits before meal times.
