Motto

Together we improve the well-being of the people we serve.

 

Vision

An Advanced Health Centre for Seniors which will be a valued, sustainable centre for quality care, serving the elderly and their families.  Building on our traditional expertise in Long Term Care we will expand the programs and services offered, along the continuum of care, in order to meet the evolving needs of the seniors' community, to enhance residents' quality of life and to support "aging at home".  We see the Perley Rideau as a leader in the treatment of dementia, offering opportunities for the training and development of health care professionals and workers.  In time, this should present present opportunities to engage in selective applied research in dementia related areas.  In adapting to the demands of a changing health care environment, we will seek innovative solutions while honouring our Veterans and the community we serve.
