Housekeeping & Laundry
Regular housekeeping and maintenance duties are carried out in accordance with Ministry of Long Term Care regulations to ensure that the resident’s environment is clean and safe. Advise the Executive Director if a maintenance or safety concern is identified.
Laundry
Please ensure that clothing is washable and will tolerate the heat of the dryer. Laundry is provided, including labeling, machine washing and drying of personal clothing. Ironing services are not provided.
All clothing will be labelled by the home at the time of move in. New items brought into the resident should be taken to the desk, where the charge nurse will have them labelled appropriately prior to the resident wearing the new items.
If families choose to be responsible for a residents’ regular laundry, we ask that they notify the charge nurse and provide a laundry hamper in the resident’s room. A sign will be posted in the resident’s room indicating that laundry is being done by the family. Soiled clothing, for infection control reasons, must be laundered regularly. Impermeable laundry bags are available at the nursing home which help to control odour. Please see the Executive Director.
