Description
Mariann Home is a 62 bed long term care home, located in Richmond Hill Ontario. Our BPSO journey began fall 2021. By being part of the BPSO, we have been able to evaluate programs such as Person and Family Centred Care, Delirium, Fall Prevention and apply our gaps to making positive changes too optimize the excellent Quality of care we offer.
Our palliative care re-development has been a very important journey for our home. We are so excited of the changes we have made with the guidance of the BPSO program. Our program begins prior to admission to after the death of a resident. Grief support is provided throughout the journey for all residents, family and staff. We have revised our Palliative Care Committee, terms of reference, and increased number of committee members from all disciplines. 100% committee members are Palliative and BPSO trained. 56% of staff have completed palliative care training. We also offer palliative care education to resident and family members. We have included palliative care in our pre-admission questionnaire. Implemented a virtual monthly support group for family and friends called "Circle of Friends". Implemented PPS scoring on admission, yearly and if change. Revised spiritual care, implemented End of life Dr's orders, staff checklist, palliative screening, palliative risk assessment, and goals of care discussion. End of life such as comfort feeding, care cart and family care bag, and honor guard has been implemented. Residents created a poem that is in the care bag for family members. Palliative care pamphlets created for residents and family. We cannot help but be so proud of all we have accomplished in 2 1/2 years.
Overall, with the guidance of the BPSO and the team we will continue to improve to maintain excellent quality of care at Mariann Home.
