Our Philosophy is:

Each person is unique. Each has value, goals, strengths, limitations, rights and responsibilities. Each person has developed within a society and is influenced by social attitudes, culture, spiritual beliefs and the environment. Venta Care Centre exists to provide the best possible care to all residents regardless of age, sex, race, religion or beliefs.

Each resident is involved in the decision to enter the facility, provides input into their care plan, and in the decision to go back to the community. While a resident at the Care Centre, maximum independence is encouraged and promoted by health care members. Families and friends’ involvement in care is paramount to adjustment and happiness in care.

Venta Care Centre believes in the provision of creative, humanistic and individualized care. Optimal care services are provided to the extent possible within the guidelines of care established and funded by Capital Health. A continuum of services across the community is available and these services are utilized wherever appropriate.
