Carveth Care Centre cares deeply about our residents, staff, volunteers and families. Here are a few ways we are making a difference:

Carveth is proud to renew its sponsorship of the school lunch program at St. Joseph Catholic School and Linklater Public School. Did you know 820 million people worldwide face hunger, and children feel it the most? School lunch programs prevent malnutrition and provide essential nutrition. We feel it is important children are nourished and educated.

Carveth is working with Gananoque Secondary School (GSS) to create a scholarship to start in 2023. We are committing $2,000 a year for at least 10 years to help a GSS grad attend a nursing program. We call it the Gibson Family Health Care Nursing Scholarship and we can’t wait to meet the recipients. Our youth are our future.

As part of our Quality Improvement and Risk Management program, our home is responding to areas of concern identified in our last Resident/Family Surveys. Specifically, residents making their own decisions regarding preferred times to rise/go to bed.  Our team is seeking input from all residents to hear their preferences. A member of the care team will be assigned to interview each resident (or the resident’s power-of-attorney if they can’t answer for themselves) to determine their wake times and bedtimes. This information will be shared in each resident’s care plan and a logo will be placed at the head of their bed (on their bulletin board), to clearly indicated what time the resident wants to get up in the morning and go to bed at night. This will allow staff quick visual access to this information when planning care delivery for each resident. The home will start interviewing residents on the west wing as a pilot. We’ll keep you updated on our progress!
