Long Term Care

Welcome to Long-Term Care at Hornepayne Community Hospital

 

At Hornepayne Community Hospital’s Long-Term Care (LTC) facility, we are proud to provide a warm, home-like environment where quality care and personal attention are our priorities. We share the hospital’s mission and vision and are located right in the geographic center of Ontario. Our 12-bed licensed facility serves residents primarily from our local community.

 

Our Facility

​

Our LTC unit offers both single and double rooms that residents are welcome to personalize. The space includes:

• A bright and spacious dining and lounge area where meals and daily activities take place.

• A large living room with a 65” television, DVD/VCR, stereo system, and a Wii console for family enjoyment.

• Two large outdoor gazebos and 10,000 square feet of fenced yard for safe outdoor recreation.

• On-site hairdressing and laundry facilities.

• Spacious tub and shower rooms with mechanical lifts for safety and comfort.

• Air conditioning installed in all 10 resident rooms (as of May 2023).

 

Our Team

​

We are staffed 24/7 by a dedicated team of Personal Support Workers (PSWs), Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs), Registered Nurses (RNs), and our Medical Director. We are also fortunate to have:

• Our own Behavioural Support Ontario (BSO) nurse, who supports residents, assists with activities and infection control, and also happens to be a licensed hairdresser and avid gardener.

• A RAI Coordinator who also provides hands-on care.

• An Activities department that promotes social connection, organizes pet visits, and brings in outside entertainment, including local schools and EarlyON programs.

• A Physiotherapy Assistant who works under the guidance of a contracted Registered Physiotherapist for regular resident care.

 

Our Mission

​

We strive to continuously improve our LTC setting while maintaining a safe, supportive, and person-centered care environment that feels like home—even within a hospital setting. We follow all Ministry of Long-Term Care guidelines and mandates to ensure excellence in service delivery.

 

Continuous Quality Improvement

​

Our goals include:

• Enhancing residents' daily living and overall well-being.

• Promoting safety, comfort, and meaningful activities.

• Measuring progress formally and informally to guide improvements.

 

Our physiotherapy services have proven effective in maintaining resident mobility and stability.

 

Projects & Improvements

​

We are actively working on improvements, including:

• Outdoor Garden Patio: A new garden patio is in the design phase for resident and family enjoyment. 

• Security Upgrades: New secure doors have been installed to keep residents safe while preventing unsupervised wandering into hospital areas.

• Future Renovations: Plans are being made to remodel the kitchen/dining area and refresh our two indoor-style gazebos, with input from the Resident and Family Council.
