Environmental Services

Housekeeping, laundry and maintenance services are monitored by our Co-Administrator.

Housekeeping

Regular housekeeping and maintenance duties are carried out in the accordance with the Ministry of Health standards to ensure that our environment is clean and safe for the residents, visitors and staff.

Laundry

  • Daily laundering of clothing is included in the monthly room rate.
  • Mending is the responsibility of the family unless valet service is purchased at a cost of $15.00 + GST per month.
  • Ironing or dry cleaning is not included in the facilities laundry service.

Please ensure that clothing is washable and will tolerate the heat of the dryer.

All clothing will be labeled by the home at the time of admission. New items brought into the resident should be taken to the desk, where the charge nurse will have them labeled appropriately prior to the resident wearing the new items.

If families choose to be responsible for a residents’ regular laundry, we ask that they notify the charge nurse and provide a laundry hamper in the resident’s room. A sign will be posted in the resident’s room indicating that laundry is being done by the family. Soiled clothing, for infection control reasons, must be laundered regularly.

Maintenance

Maintenance is the responsibility of the home. If you have a concern related to the building, please bring it to the attention of our Co-Administrator.

All electrical appliances brought into the home must be checked by the maintenance person prior to them being plugged in.

Electrical items such as electric blankets, heating pads, and extension cords are not allowed.
