Cleaning a long-term care home in Gananoque isn’t the career Chantel Cook envisioned for herself. Young and energetic, she dreams of working in the canine unit with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). But for now, she loves her job. Speaking from Carveth Care Centre, a family owned and operated home in early September 2025, Chantel smiles at the news she is the home’s Employee of the Month for October. “I love my job and I’m very grateful to be winning this award,” the pretty blonde says with her trademark…

Meet Carveth’s honourary pets: Casper and Stretch

Ask anyone who enjoys the company of animals, and they’ll tell you pets are humanizing. That is certainly the case in Gananoque where two animals have earned the affection of residents at a local retirement home. Speaking from the home’s garden on a beautiful summer day, Resident Joyce Cartwright smiles brightly while feeding Stretch, a chipmunk that has become an honourary pet. “Stretch watches for me,” says the 89-year-old woman who has a container of peanuts attached to her walker for him. “He doesn’t like it when there are other…

Galas Baguma is relatively new to Canada, but in the world of health care, he is a seasoned professional.

To improve is to change

If restlessness was a disease, then change is the cure. That is the case for two staff at Carveth Care Centre who recently changed jobs within the long-term care home. “I like the change, I needed it,” explains Amanda Gamble who moved to Housekeeping in early 2024 after 16 years in the Dietary Department. “I’m happier here than in the kitchen,” says the 37-year-old with a smile. “It’s a nice change. I’m also glad I get to stay in the same building.” Amanda is one of two staff who successfully…

Speaking for the home is Care Coordinator Lisa Smith who started the staff huddles in 2024. “Every mid-afternoon during the week, I go around to each nursing station and ask staff if they have any comments, questions or concerns. I answer…

The Caregiver: falls prevention

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. As…

The Caregiver: Restraints

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…
