We believe that enhancing the quality of life of each individual is very important. Every effort is made to ensure that the resident’s physical, psychosocial, and spiritual needs are identified and addressed. This is accomplished through the availability of a variety of programs and services provided by a multidisciplinary team.
A care conference is a meeting with the resident, their family, and the multidisciplinary team to review care needs. Care conferences are scheduled within six weeks after admission and annually thereafter, unless there is a need to meet more frequently.
The Medical Director is available to all residents; however, individuals can retain their own personal physician.

The nursing team consists of Registered Nurses (RNs), Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs), and Health Care Aides (HCAs). Professional nurses are on site 24 hours a day:
-
Registered Nurses are responsible for the day- to-day provision of care to the residents and to support other nursing staff.
- Registered Practical Nurses ensure the continuity of care as directed by the Registered Nurse.
- Health Care Aides provide personal care and assistance as outlined in the resident’s plan of care under the direction and supervision of the RN and RPN.
Frequent and appropriate handwashing is the single most important factor in preventing the spread of infection. All residents, visitors, volunteers and staff are asked to wash their hands often. Visitors are asked not to visit if they are feeling ill or have traveled to a country where an outbreak of a severe illness is occurring.
The Government of Ontario recommends annual Influenza Vaccination for all residents in long-term care homes. One-time Pneumovax Vaccination is recommended by the Thunder Bay District Health Unit for all residents. Both immunizations are available on site with consent.
In situations when death is expected, residents often want to remain at their home rather than be sent to a hospital. Nursing and Spiritual Care staff are trained in providing comfort and support to the resident and family.
Families and clergy are free to visit whenever they wish. At Hogarth Riverview Manor, palliative care is provided in the resident’s own room.
Support is also available from Hospice Northwest.
