Long Term and Respite Care
Levy Long Term Care at Shalom Village Original and Gould Long Term Care at Shalom Village Too

Long Term Care Homes, once more commonly known as nursing homes, are licensed by the Ontario Ministry oh Health and Long Term Care. Shalom Village is  also fully accredited by the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation.

Shalom Village welcomes residents of all faiths, and provides nursing and personal care on a 24-hour basis. Care is supervised by registered nurses, and we have a staff doctor to guide the medical care of our residents. Our staff, with the support of our Dementia Care Specialist, are all specially trained to help those with cognitive impairments get the most out of life. Complex care including gastric tubes, oxygen and IV are all available at Shalom. Short term, or respite care is available for those recovering from surgery or other health conditions, or to provide a break to caregivers at home.

What makes Shalom Village different is our unique "AT HOME" approach to care. Our goal is to help people maintain their quality of life as they move home to Shalom. While an individual may need assistance with some activities of daily living, there are many other life experiences that they have come to value, and we aim to provide opportunities for them to continue to participate in activities that have meaning to them. We believe that everyone should be able to live in a home where they are valued, can live with dignity, and have the opportunity to remain a vital part of their community.

Shalom Village's hospitality department serves appetizing kosher meals in pleasant dining rooms, including breakfast, lunch, supper and snacks between meals and at bedtime. Our chefs work with a registered dietician to provide special diets and dietary supplements as required.
 
Our Community Centre offers a wide variety of social and recreational programs. Everyone is encouraged to participate in activities suited to their individual interests. All residents have access to The Club fitness centre, the Snoezelen, and many innovative entertainment and therapeutic opportunities. We are able to provide accessible transportation to all residents for outings. Activities such as Samuel's Bistro, our fine dining kosher restaurant, and the Hanukkah Hustle 5k run, are among the many events that bring the larger community to Shalom Village, helping to make it a more vital place to live, work and visit.
