RESIDENT CARE PROGRAMS

Long-Term Care Program

The Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre provides assistance to men and women with physical and/or cognitive impairments of varying degrees. The medical and nursing staff, families, and resident contribute to the development of an individualized care plan which is adjusted as needs and circumstances change.

Special Approach Program
The Perley and Rideau Veterans' Health Centre is a centre of excellence in dementia care. Our Special Approach Program provides a safe, therapeutic, and supportive environment to men and women living with the physical and functional limitations associated with dementia.

Short-Stay Programs

Convalescent Program
Seniors in acute care hospital may require or benefit from a short stay with us to regain their health and strength after an illness or surgery. These clients will either return home or move to a rehabilitation facility.

Respite Program
The Perley Rideau Respite Program offers short-stay residential services to seniors who otherwise live at home and are cared for by family. The program is directed to family caregivers as well, providing relief from their caregiving responsibilities.

Day Program
The Perley Rideau Day Program - jointly operated with the Victorian Order of Nurses - is open to seniors with various forms of dementia, often referred to as Alzheimer Disease. Clients come to the program from their own homes to enjoy a day of stress-free socialization and fun, while family caregivers have a few hours off.
