High-Quality Healthcare
An essential ingredient to high-quality healthcare is actively including the voice of the residents and families to improve quality, safety, and health outcomes. Engaging residents is critical to understanding their experience and can lead to changes in practice, service delivery, and outcomes providing a true resident-centered experience.
Venta Care Centre follows the Resident and Family-Centered Care approach that fosters respectful, compassionate, culturally appropriate, and competent care that is responsive to the needs, values, beliefs, and preferences of all residents and their family members.
This approach shifts to doing something to or for the Resident / Family to do something with the Resident/ Family so that that a true partnership can form between the health care provider and the Resident.
We continue to work closely with residents and families in planning and service design as well as quality and safety issues. Venta utilizes a variety of means to engage residents and families that include Resident and Family Council meetings, Care Conferences, experience surveys and other informal discussions.
