Could you tell me a little about your dining experience?

What is the process that takes place if a resident has a complaint or an issue they want addressed?

All complaints and concerns are taken seriously and investigated thoroughly. The social worker meets with the resident to gather the information and escalates the complaint to the appropriate discipline. Once a complaint has been investigated the staff meets with the resident to discuss the outcome and steps taken to ensure the incident does not occur again. There is also an Ombudsman Program, which is a separate agency who is also available to meet with the residents.
