If you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done.

Cerebrating Family Council at Carveth Care Centre Falls are a large part of injuries to today’s population and with November being Falls Prevention Month, here are some things to think about as we head into the winter months. What role can we, as caregivers, play in reducing and hopefully eliminating falls? Our first objective should be to recognize and accept that winter weather brings a whole new set of fall hazards and potential injuries – snow, ice, cold, freezing conditions, slippery floors, different footwear and the list goes on.

Celebrating Family Council at Carveth Care Centre by Jim Taylor The Oxford dictionary defines “restraint” as a device to keep in-check or under control or within bounds, repress, deep down, confine or imprison. Therefore, the general notion of a restraint has a very negative meaning. At a Long-Term Care Facility, such as Carveth, one of the most important safety concerns for our loved ones, the residents, is the prevention of falls, and their potential consequences, from any elevation, whether a bed, chair, wheelchair or walker. The use of some sort…

by Jim Taylor - Our residents are assured of a safe, secure, and comfortable environment, but in a lot of cases, they are separated from their families most of the time. There is scientific evidence that indicates more frequent visits and contacts with families and caregivers, gives rise to more enthusiasm, improved cooperation, and enhanced attitude about life in general. Some days and nights can be long and lonely, and visits by families, friends, and caregivers can be emotional highlights. Our residents are proud of their families and friends, and…

Celebrating Family Council at Carveth Care Centre by Jim Taylor These days, it seems that the list of health-related hazards is constantly growing, and we all need to work hard to prevent the transfer and spread of each new threat.

Our eyesight is so important to all of us, and as caregivers, we have an opportunity to help prevent eye-related infections, both to ourselves and our loved-one living at Carveth. The problem is identified in several…

This includes gloves, face shields (goggles), gowns and masks which act as barriers to block the transmission of infectious materials in blood, body fluids or respiratory secretions to…
