This council is also very important aspect of the Planetree Philosophy. Concerns may be expressed through this council which in turn, are directed to the appropriate Team Leader or CEO. This meeting usually occurs once per month followed by a “welcome tea” for our new neighbours.
Restraint Policy
Carleton Manor encourages least restraint. Restraints lead to frustration, loss of dignity, and may increase risk of injury. If used as a last resort, such application will be discussed with the physician and family before application. Ongoing need will be evaluated regularly with the goal of reducing restraints.
