Longer Term Care Facilities - Northern Health Authority
Disability Services, Housing / Shelter, and Seniors Services
Provided by Northern Health
Long-term care homes provide 24-hour professional care and supervision in a protective, supportive environment for people who have complex care needs and can no longer be cared for in their own homes.
When health care needs become more complex, a person can move to a care home that provides a higher level of care than is possible to provide at home. Home health professionals are responsible for helping to determine whether it’s the right time to move to a long-term care home. This decision is supported by a comprehensive assessment and exploration of all care options. For more information contact your local [Home Health/Community Services Office[(https://www.northernhealth.ca/sites/northern_health/files/services/home-community-care/documents/health-offices-by-community.pdf).
Northern Health long-term care homes strives to adhere to a person and family centred care model. It is a partnership between the person we serve in health care system, their family and their care providers. DementiAbility is a program that embodies these qualities. NH has developed a learning module to educate community members on how these person and family centred care principles are applied to a person with dementia.
You will need to sign up first for a free public learning hub account before you can take the DementiAbility Learning Module.
