'It's how you support
the resident that counts'
January 26, 2004
How do we measure our successes? Does there always have to be a happy
ending for an outcome to be called a success? We, at Riverview Manor
believe it is how you have supported the resident along an often painful
journey that counts. |

Supportive measures forces staff to make tough
choices
Friday March 28, 2003 Natalie Miller
PETERBOROUGH One resident is crying and the other needs her face washed. An
employee’s past experience can influence whether she first consoles the
distraught resident or wipes the other’s face with a washcloth. Supportive
measures isn’t an easy concept to get used to when traditional long-term
care settings put hands-on care before compassion. Full

Supportive measures is for everyone,
says Frost's
ESM
by Roderick Benns
As Joy Brittain walked by a resident,
who was meticulously sorting through a bucket full of screw nails, nuts
and bolts, she took note that supportive measures initiatives are for

nearby window danced about his steely blue eyes and his stare travelled
effortlessly across the room, resting on her smile. Full
