Our Medical Director rounds once a week and our Nurse Practitioners are full-time. Nurse Practitioners are authorized to diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic tests, and prescribe medications and other treatments.
Clinical specialist consultations are available including a psychogeriatric team who help meet the care requirements of residents with complex physical, cognitive and mental health needs.
We also have onsite telemedicine equipment for virtual consultations with specialists. This includes Respirology, Cardiology and Dermatology.
Residents may retain their own physician if the physician is available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Fairmount Home has an Occupational Therapist (OT). The OT helps our residents to develop, recover, improve and maintain the skills they need for activities of daily living.
The OT assesses our residents’ everyday tasks like eating, grooming, dressing, bathing and toileting. The OT then makes recommendations like positioning, set-up by staff, adaptive equipment and cueing. The OT’s goal is to help residents to function as fully as possible and increase their independence and self-esteem.
Residents may be eligible for funding to help with the costs of new mobility aides. The OT can help in filling out applications for funding.
We provide physiotherapy services in-house to promote mobility for our residents.
