Julia Smit's Company Details
Specifically designed for people with dementia, Highview Residences' homes in Kitchener and London, Ontario are welcoming and intimate. Each house is like a large bungalow that's home to no more than 26 residents. Staff form deep connections with residents and their families. That's because there isn't the same task-focus that you'll find at many long-term care homes. The priority at Highview is on getting to know each resident. That's vital when supporting someone with dementia.The homes are secure. Residents have someone with them 24 hours a day. They can freely go outside to the secure garden or go down to the end of hallway where there's a beautiful sunroom. If they're so inclined, they can play the piano or go to the kitchen to cook or bake.Highview is also known for its relaxed, flexible dining where residents can eat when they want rather than at set hours.Crucially, all Highview's staff are highly skilled in dementia care. They not only help residents with their personal care; they keep them actively engaged.
