Leaves and Appointments
Resident leave and appointment procedures, including sign-in/out requirements and care responsibilities.
Appointments outside the home
Please inform the nurse in charge of any appointments booked prior to admission so transportation
can be arranged. After admission, appointments are arranged by staff in consultation with you and your Power of Attorney for Personal Care.
We encourage residents to seek family assistance in attending appointments. If you are going to appointments or receiving care outside of the home, ask for explanations and written instructions about your care and medications from the care team.
Leaves from Providence Manor
Residents are encouraged to go on outings with family and friends. Please fill in the sign-in/out sheet located at the nursing station on each Resident Home Area. This ensures the care team is aware of when you are leaving, with whom, and your anticipated time of return.
Responsibility for care of residents during casual and vacation leaves rests with a person who person must be 19 years of age or over and must acknowledge that he/she will provide appropriate care for the resident as instructed by the nursing staff. The responsible person must notify the nurse in charge if the resident is admitted to hospital or injured during the leave.
In addition to vacation and casual leaves, there are also medical leaves and psychiatric leaves.
Please refer to your Accommodation Agreement for additional information about approved leaves of absence.
