St. Joseph's Continuing Care Centre

We have received our final report and accreditation decision from Accreditation Canada.  Our final decision is accreditation with Condition.  The condition which we must fulfill before April 2010 is the submission of more extensive evidence of the follow-up action taken with respect to our medication reconciliation process and the implementation of a second identifier for residents who cannot self-identify in Long-Term Care. 

Our overall results were outstanding.  The final report provides an overview of our organization’s results in the Quality Dimensions, Required Organizational Practice (ROP) and standards; and the three significant components of the accreditation program.  I am very pleased to report that our results in the Quality Dimensions and Standards section exceed the national compliance rate in every category.

I would like to congratulate our staff, Board leadership, community partners, volunteers and families on this significant achievement and the commitment to providing quality care that this demonstrates.

Sister Patricia Cuddihy
