Everything was calm at Vision Nursing/Rest Home until the building erupted with excitement.  

"Stop what you are doing! We've put together a team to participate in CANstruction 2023!" 

With the support of the entire Vision Staff, Residents and Families, we will contribute to the hugely successful (and competitive) program to assist the INN of the Good Shepherd

in this unique food drive.  

Here is what we need from you- DONATIONS, DONATIONS, DONTATION. Since the CANstruct projects are all unique, the size and shape of cans is critical to a successful project. Your monetary donations will allow us to purchase the canned good. Which will be donated locally to the Inn of the Good Shepherd.

Air Conditioning Statement of Non-Compliance:
 

VISION STATEMENT OF NON-COMPLIANCE per Director Order Aug 19 2022 (to be posted on Home Page of Website)

 

According to the Ministry of Long Term Care our “tempered air system” currently in place providing cooling to resident rooms requires modification to meet legislation, which is scheduled for Jan 2023. We are working with our Engineering Firm to assess the feasibility of providing alternate air conditioning to resident rooms that will comply with the Ministry of Long Term Care’s legislation and Director Order. Our common areas and lounges continue to be serviced by air-conditioning.  Resident Room temperatures continue to be monitored 3 times per day to ensure that they are between 22-26 degrees as legislated by the MOLTC.
