A set of activities that are carried out to set standards used to monitor and improve performance so that the care and services provided will satisfy stated or implied needs. These processes don’t “assure” quality; they are tools used to assist with the management of quality.

The CQI Team -

The CQI team at Valley Manor provides the framework for the development and implementation of our integrated Quality Management system.

We strive to provide and implement appropriate quality management systems and processes to ensure the delivery of the highest quality care and service to our residents.

The Valley Manor CQI team continues to provide the framework for continuous improvement  which improves the  resident satisfaction a at Valley Manor and with our community stakeholders.  We must share the responsibility for the delivery of high quality programs and services and for continual improvement. Ultimate responsibility for quality and risk management activities rests with the CQI team however, all stakeholders including staff, volunteers, board members, and third party service vendors have a role to play in improving quality and managing risk. Direction for the Quality and Risk Management program is provided by CQI team.

Our CQI team is  committed to continuously improving the quality of care and service that we provide. Quality means meeting the needs and expectations of our residents and by extension, their families and/or support systems. Each of us has a responsibility to ensure quality for the residents that live at  Valley Manor.

Quality is improved through a continuous process of self-assessment with targets and standards, reviewing and evaluating progress and implementing quality improvement and other action plans. The policies, procedures, implementing processes and monitoring mechanisms are made known to our residents, families and stakeholders with the aim of involving everyone in the development of our culture. In order to develop this quality culture we use a range of ways to consult and inform, and aim to continuously improve effective communications.

Quality Improvement Plan (QIP)

The Excellent Care for All Act (ECFAA) requires that every year, health care organizations including Long-Term Care develop an annual Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) for the following fiscal year and make that plan available to the public.

The QIP is an organization-owned plan that establishes a platform for quality improvement that can be used to harmonize efforts to improve quality of care across the health care system. While each organization owns, develops, and maintains their QIP, organizations share in a common agenda of improving the patient/resident experience that is guided by provincial priorities for high quality care as highlighted in Ontario’s Action Plan for Health Care.

Our current QIP is accessible right here: https://qipnavigator.hqontario.ca/

On Tuesday, October 1^st at 10:30 am Valley Manor LTC home performed their triennial full evacuation drill under the observation of the Madawaska Valley Fire Chief, Corwin Quade. At the staff debrief after the event, he advised the staff that “You all did quite well! You all did a great job, so obviously you know what you’re doing.” Valley Manor’s CEO, Trisha DesLaurier also commended the staff on a job well done stating “A huge thank you to the entire team for your participation in the full evacuation exercise at Valley Manor today! It was completed in record time of 24:48 minutes. The last full evacuation drill was completed in 32 minutes. A job well done by all; including the residents!!”

Why conduct this drill?

Exercises or drills provide several important benefits to any organization that uses them to prepare for its emergency response. Some drills are conducted monthly, yearly and triennially as per the Ministry of Long-Term Care’s - Fixing Long-Term Car Act, 2021. Conducting this drill helps the home increase their overall preparedness in the event of a real evacuation. In particular, it:

• Provides the home a way to determine its readiness to respond to a crisis or disaster.

• Clarifies gaps or problems with existing policies and plans.

• Helps administration and staff understand their roles during a disaster.

• Serves as a training tool.

• Helps identify needs for other resources, and

• Serves as a tool for modifying and improving existing plans based on the lessons learned during the drill.

Volunteer Philosophy

Board members Annie Marsh, Bill Rodnick, Jill Vermaire, Director of HR and Finance Stacey McDonald, Honourable Minister of Long-Term Care Paul Calandra, CEO Trisha DesLaurier, MPP John Yakabuski and Director of Care Gail Yantha

Honourable Minister of Long-term Care Paul Calandra attended Valley Manor on Monday, June 12th to review Valley Manor’s final stages of their redevelopment plans with John Yakabuski MPP, the Valley Manor Executive Team and the Board of Directors.

Valley Manor was eager to showcase the great redevelopment work that has been completed to date, despite the fact that the home is situated in a small rural community and faces additional challenges being a not for profit home as compared to larger communities.

Minister Calandra and MPP John Yakabuski reviewed the redevelopment plans and toured the facility with the team. Minister Calandra was very complementary to the redevelopment and fundraising work that has been completed so far, despite the challenges of the pandemic and being in a rural location which presents an additional layer of challenges to complete the journey.

The meeting was a part of Valley Manor’s advocacy efforts for an individual funding model for small rural homes with limited fundraising capacity.

The Ethics Advisory Committee is a joint committee. The expectation of the time to resolve an issue is dependent on the nature of the matter.

The committee is comprised, at minimum, of the following members:

St. Francis Memorial Hospital
613-756-3044

Valley Manor
613-756-2643

Mission

To create an opportunity for the donors of th Madawaska Valley to advance healthcare in the community by ensuring support for equipment and facility needs through the effort of one fundraising organization that will inclusively fundraise based on a long term plan for the community’s non-profit healthcare needs.

In this way, our donors are making an overall impact on all the healthcare organizations in their community, knowing that these organizations have taken the communities needs into account when planning for what we will need in the long term.

Who do we raise Funds for?

In accordance with an overall long range plan, the SFVH Foundation raises, manages and distributes funds to:

• St Francis Memorial Hospital (including Rainbow Valley)
• Madawaska Valley Hospice Palliative Care
• Valley Manor Nursing Home

What do we raise money for?

The 3 non-profit Healthcare Organizations support partnerships around the current needs of patients, putting the needs of the community ahead of their independent needs and identifying their capital equipment needs as it relates to long term planning.

Based on the community’s capacity to give, fundraising strategies are developed by the SFVH Foundation to meet these with a projected 5 year plan.

Campaigns and Designated Funds

When you give to the SFVH Foundation, you are actually supporting all three healthcare organizations (SFMH, Valley Manor and Hospice) because the fundraising dollars go back to these organizations at the end of the year to support their equipment needs based all based on an overall plan that reflect the community’s needs. However and as always, the Foundation will continue to respect the wishes of its donors to designate a gift of support if requested.
