The majority
of our residents and clients require a very high level of care
due to physical and developmental challenges as well as medical
conditions such as Cerebral Palsy or Spina Bifida etc. Most
of the people we support are in wheelchairs and are completely
dependent on others for just about everything! Think about that
statement for a moment. Imagine waiting for someone to come
and get you out of bed in the morning, help you get dressed,
look after your personal hygiene (bathing, toileting), having
someone prepare your meals and assist with eating and drinking,
arranging your activities, then getting you back into bed and
turning you through the night.
Participation Lodge is committed to
provide "quality of life care" which goes well beyond
the needs of "personal care". Residents are seen as
individuals, each with personal needs - both physical and emotional.
Facilities and Services
Participation Lodge has space for 20 full-time
residents. Most rooms are single occupancy with some doubles.
The price is the same.
Residents are allowed to bring personal
effects that are safe, in good working order and do not create
a hazard to other residents. Space is limited so approval
for larger items is required.
Rehabilitation services such as physiotherapy
are available only through outside services. They are not
provided on site.
Internal and external activities are pre
planned with input from clients and currently carried out
by the recreation department.
Families are encouraged to visit any time
and maintain active involvement in lives of residents. There
are no set hours for immediate family as long as they do not
disturb other clients. All others are to visit between 9:00AM
and 9:30PM.
