Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy
Wellington Park Care Centre offers a range of physiotherapy and rehabilitation services. There are also alternative therapies and restorative care programs available. Each new resident is assessed to determine an appropriate physiotherapy regime shortly after admission. Our objective is to maintain and restore residents’ current abilities and strengths through a variety of physical programs designed to meet individual needs.
Specialized Services
Our Nursing team believes in providing high quality care in order to meet the residents’ physical, social, emotional, intellectual, cultural and spiritual needs. We are committed to assist each resident in realizing his/her maximum potential. Interdisciplinary programs are developed to meet residents’ strengths, risks, needs and preferences using both in-house and community resources. We actively provide ongoing training and educational programs to our team, which will enhance personal and professional growth, recognizing that each team member is an important contributor to the resident care team. This assists us to achieve our goal of providing a resident-centred approach to care.

Falls Prevention Program
Our Falls Prevention Program has been designed to effectively assess contributing factors that may place a resident at risk for a fall. The program identifies strategies aimed at the prevention or reduction of falls. It evaluates the effectiveness of each resident’s specific falls program. We have adapted the acronym FALLS to guide our program; Fall, Assessment, Long Term Actions, Learning and Safety.

Responsive Behaviour Program
Our Responsive Behaviour Program is based on delivering a holistic person-centered approach to care for residents who express unmet needs in response or reaction to external stimuli. The program uses a combination of approaches to address the well-being of the resident that in turn, will minimize distressed active expressions. We also utilize supports such as in-house Behavioural Support Teams or those provided by the Ontario Health atHome to enhance our care delivery practices.

Continence Management Program
Our Continence Management Program is designed to effectively assess, manage/maintain and evaluate each resident’s level of continence employing clinical knowledge and tools. This support includes our continence product supplier who works in partnership with team members utilizing a restorative approach to allow maximum dignity and comfort for each resident.
