Safe Care for Seniors

United in our shared mission to keep those we serve safe from harm and to provide care with respect and dignity – always, Safe Care for Seniors helps create safe, trusted and inclusive environments that elders are proud to call home and give families confidence and peace of mind in all we do. 

Safe Care for Seniors is a safety and quality improvement program that will prevent the unintentional and intentional harm in the course of caregiving. Through our words and actions, we are committed to:

  • Respect and Dignity – Always... creating partnerships with providers, caregivers, seniors and their families.  
  • Speak Up. Take Action...empowering staff, residents and families to speak up if they see something unsafe or makes them uncomfortable and ensuring systems and supports are in place to respond to concerns.
  • A New Way of Thinking and Doing Things...uncovering new opportunities for learning and improvement when something unexpected does happen.
  • Quality Care and Services...identifying improvement opportunities and strengthening a culture of safety.
  • Improved Communication...creating open and effective communication among all who live and work in our settings.
  • Enhanced Engagement...engaging staff, residents and families in our safety and quality work.
