River East : Our Philosophy of Care

As part of the health care system in the Province of Manitoba, River East Personal Care Home Ltd. provides quality care services within our community. To provide that service, we believe that we must establish, achieve, and evaluate standards of care that will maintain and enhance the quality of life enjoyed by our Elders.

The Home's primary purpose is to provide personalized care and continuous access to human companionship to our elders in order to promote the well being of each individual. All activities addressing the physical, psychosocial, spiritual, cognitive, therapeutic and recreational needs of our Elder recognize the dignity of each Elder as a human being with a past, a present, and a future.

River East Personal Care Home operates in conjunction with Manitoba Health and the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority to provide quality care. The home has implemented regional policies such as the Protection for Person's In Care Act in order to prevent the abuse of the elders in our care. We, at River East Personal Care Home have a zero tolerance policy toward any form of abuse of elders. We also have strict Personal Health Information Act policies that protect the information about our elders that is confidential.

Safety and security are paramount to us.

River East Personal Care Home Ltd. recognizes that it has a corporate and social responsibility as an employer, economic entity, educational resource and as a community partner.

To achieve our commitment and meet our responsibilities, we believe that a people-oriented management approach is the key to success. We only employ staff members that are certified within their various fields of service and that meet high expectations for care provision.
