Dental Services – Dentist
Dental services are available in the Centre through Direct Dentistry. Arrangements to have dentures made, relined, or adjusted may be made by contacting the Unit Charge Nurse or by contacting a dentist of your choice.

Care by an optometrist is provided in the centres for any requiring care. The cost of these visits may be covered by Ontario Health Plan.
Medications
Medications are prescribed by the home’s Doctor only and are administered by a Registered Nurse or Registered Practical Nurse. No medication of any kind (even over the counter remedies) may be brought to the resident or left in the resident’s room. The Ontario Drug Benefit Program does not cover all medications and there may be a charge for these prescriptions. However, families will be notified before any charges are applied.

A request for a private sitter must be discussed with the Director of Resident Care before arrangements are made. Families will be billed directly by the nursing registry of their choice for private nursing.
