Resident Services

At The Glebe Centre, we provide recreation and activity  programs that reflect the individual needs and interests of each resident.  We strive to create opportunities for socializing and gathering where residents can be themselves to engage in meaningful activities that enhance feelings of wellness and fun.

We offer a variety of programs and services based on a comprehensive assessment and social history to develop an individualized plan of care. Programs are designed to meet resident’s current and past interests, previous lifestyles, and daily schedules. We offer programs that reflect the psychosocial, physical, cognitive, cultural, and spiritual well-being of each resident.

The recreation department utilizes volunteers to create excellent recreation experiences for our residents. 

Families and friends are always welcome to join any programs or events.  Please feel free to get involved.

Physiotherapy

Long-term care home residents found to require physiotherapy will be provided with physiotherapy services at no cost to them. The frequency and duration of the physiotherapy treatment will be determined during an assessment done by a Registered Physiotherapist.

Creative Arts Program

Our Creative Arts Program acts as a vehicle to enable the voices of individuals we serve to capture their lived experiences through painting and drawing.  Experiences within arts-based activities enhance feelings of confidence, self-esteem, relaxation and fun. We offer programs on every home area and also a weekly drop in on Wednesday afternoons in the Gathering Place. 

Snoezelen Program

Snoezelen is a specialized selection of sensory equipment and materials that help residents adapt their responses to sensory stimulation.  Each Snoezelen session is designed to meet the needs of the specific resident according to their needs and abilities. The blend of sights, sounds, textures, aromas, and motion provide stimulation of the primary sensory systems and may be modified to meet each participant’s sensory needs. 

 If you would like to get involved and participate  with your family member please speak with your Program Facilitator for more information.

Music Therapy   

Our Music Therapist uses the power of  sound and music to facilitate emotional expression, improve communication, and promote overall well-being. Our experienced Music Therapist employs a wide range of techniques, including listening to and creating music and songwriting, to help residents explore their emotions, reduce stress, and enhance self-awareness and enjoyment. Music Therapy can be a powerful tool for older adults.  The Glebe Centre also has a vibrant and active choir that meets weekly.
