A look ahead

PETERBOROUGH In the past three months, OMNI’s administrators
have spoken out on their vision for their homes for the coming year.
In speaking with each administrator for the ‘A Look
Ahead’ series, OMNIway asked each home leader where they saw their
home positioned in the community, both now and for the coming year. Exactly
half of home leaders saw a greater need to ensure their long-term care
home was a more viable part of their community. From taking part in more
community activities, to raising the profile of their home, to opening
it up to other seniors who may need services, eight administrators had
a vision for their home that encompassed and brought together the elements
of community interaction.
