Celebrating RNAO’s inaugural Long-Term Care Best Practice Spotlight Organization Host: UniversalCare Canada Inc.

RNAO is thrilled to welcome UniversalCare Canada Inc. as its first Long-Term Care Best Practice Spotlight Organization (LTC-BPSO) Host.
As the LTC-BPSO Host, UniversalCare will supervise, on behalf of RNAO, the full BPSO designation program for a group of homes across Ontario. The LTC homes will implement the following three BPGs: Person- and Family-Centred Care, Assessment and Management of Pain and Promoting Safety: Alternative Approaches to the Use of Restraints.
The 11 Ontario homes under the new LTC-BPSO Host model are:
- Cedarwood Lodge – Sault Ste. Marie
- Chateau Park – Windsor
- Franklin Gardens – Leamington
- Hardy Terrace – Brantford
- Mariann Home – Richmond Hill
- Perth Community Care Centre – Perth
- Regency Park – Windsor
- Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans’ Care – Toronto
- Villa Colombo Seniors Centre– Vaughan
- Villa Marconi – Ottawa
- Wellington House Nursing Homes – Prescott
In addition to these 11 homes, BPSO designate Tilbury Manor and pre-designate Mackenzie Health will continue as BPSOs with the support of UniversalCare.
On Sept. 20, UniversalCare hosted a launch party to celebrate the homes, which was followed by a full-day virtual BPSO program orientation on Sept. 22. Both events marked the inaugural LTC-BPSO Host model and introduced staff members of the homes to the BPSO program and the important work that lies ahead.
