Welcome to Seaview Manor
Seaview Manor is a municipality-owned continuing care facility operated by a Board of Directors. The Board consists of 3 municipal councilors, 3 members appointed by Council and a secretary. Some of the Board Members have been associated with Seaview Manor since its incorporation in 1976. The integration of Continuing Care to the District Health Authority has been a focus of review for the Board and the Corporation supports this integration as a best response to the needs of the elderly in our district.
As a continuing care facility, Seaview is proud to be a leader in the continuum of care for District 8 Health Authority. Seaview Manor is a fully accredited facility under Accreditation Canada.
Seaview Manor is a progressive resident-centered organization. In 1997, Seaview Manor did a revision of their Mission and developed a Value Statement to serve as a core Philosophical Direction to go forward in the provision of quality based continuing care. As basic strategies were accomplished, Seaview revisited the principles it espoused. The Board of Directors with input from residents, families, community and staff developed a Vision.
A new Mission Statement and Strategic Directions were developed and are reviewed every 3 – 5 years. Seaview Manor believes in resident-centered care delivered by a multidisciplinary team as evidenced by Accreditation Canada reports, satisfaction surveys, and the Residents Bill of Rights.
There is also a commitment to supporting the community through communication, education, inclusion and sharing of services and information. Many long-term staff and very little turnover attest to how they are valued by Seaview Manor.
Families, volunteers and the community are welcome at Seaview Manor and they support services to the residents. Seaview Manor has many intergenerational activities.
A major part of Seaview Manor core beliefs is the promotion of health and independence of our residents, staff and other extended community. To this end we have been developing and building experience in Primary Health Care. Surveys of staff health issues include smoking, pap smear, mammography; prostate care and most recently colon care have been the basis of strategic planning for in-house and external activities. In 2009, we were awarded a Canada Award of Excellence for Healthy Workplace (Gold) from the National Quality Institute.
Seaview Manor has a wellness/exercise room (and for the past number of years has been sponsoring a fitness trainer for staff). Nursing and Dietary staff provide outreach educational and health testing sessions for the senior citizens complexes. Many of the best practice health and safety processes are integral to the care of residents.
