Did you know:
In the 1880’s some friends in
Punxsutawney, Penn., went into the
woods on Candlemas Day to look for
groundhogs. This outing became a
tradition, and a local newspaper editor
nicknamed the seekers “the
Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.”
Starting in 1887 the search became an
official event centered on a ground hog
called Punxsutawney Phil.
Canada’s Groundhog Day relies on
the predictions of an albino groundhog
named Wiarton Willie.
**There will be a LTC Family Council
Lunch Meeting February 22nd 2016.**
If you have visited the main entrance of
the Retirement home in the last month
you will see that our new windowed
gazebo has been revealed and we can see
out to the courtyard again. It looks great.
We will be continuing work in the foyer
by laying new flooring. For a few days
when you are visiting you may see signs
for a temporary entrance while this is
being done. We will work to have
minimal disruption to our Residents.
A reminder to those that are visiting Long
Term Care, the entrance is no longer
through Retirement but around at the
back of the building. Come in off Huron,
follow the signs in the parking lot around
the East side of the building. Stay tuned
for when the new entrance to Long Term
Care will be completed.
Have a great February!

Nursing Department
Enclosed with this newsletter is an
information sheet regarding the changes to
OT (Occupational Therapy) services at
Kensington Village. Effect January 1, 2016,
OT services are no longer included as a
funded service and are now provided
through a private fee-for-service model. The
change in service delivery model is due to
the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care
funding changes related to physiotherapy
services in 2013. Physiotherapy services will
continue to remain the same. If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.

February Birthdays
Environmental
Department
I trust everyone had a wonderful holiday
season! Our Christmas lights are being taken
down, I hope you all enjoyed them as much as
we did.
A reminder regarding Laundry labelling – LTC
side. When bringing in a new item for your
family member please ensure that you follow
our procedure to ensure that the items get
labelled. Procedure: take the item to the
nursing station so they can place the item in a
bag with the form that has the residents name
on it. Labelling I done throughout the laundry
aides day pending time. All Christmas labelling
is now completed.
A reminder – please be careful walking outside
when the weather is bad.
My door is always open if you have any
questions.
