Committee of Management

Statement of Achievements

Year 2017

As the new chair, this year, of the Glen Stor Dun Lodge's Committee of Management, I am

pleased to report that the Lodge has performed very well.

The Leadership Team this year developed a new strategic plan with the help of their

stakeholders and the participation of members of this committee. The staff have also

continued to work hard allowing the organization to maintain a great reputation (with a

lengthy waiting list) within our community despite facing some real and difficult

challenges. Resident/family survey results continue to demonstrate a high satisfaction

rate with an average rate above 90%. The Lodge's Dietary department continues to

enjoy great reviews from the Ontario Health Unit. To date, the Lodge is functioning

within budget.

In regards to the work of the committee, I have enjoyed seeing a few things accomplished.

With the help of administration, we have accomplished all of our goals and objectives,

including a review of our roles and responsibilities and the approval and adaptation of a

code of conduct. These were recommendations from Accreditation Canada and the

committee is committed to continue to work on moving other recommended Standards

forward. The Committee is aware of the various pressures put on our services. For

instance, the access to affordable services and the lack of support and resources are

discussed quite regularly.

Overall, I am proud, as Chair, to report that the Lodge continues to be a well sought out

service in our community and I want to thank all the wonderful staff and the members of

the Committee of Management for their ongoing commitment to its success.

Sincerely,

Elaine MacDonald, Chair

Prière pour la nouvelle année

Prions pour que cette nouvelle année soit l'année de l'amour

et de la paix.

Prions pour que la paix règne dans nos cœurs.

Seigneur, aide-nous à lutter contre nos penchants mauvais.

Tant de tentations nous entourent,

Aide-nous, Seigneur, à ne pas perdre de vue l'Essentiel et la

Vérité

Aide-nous, Seigneur, à aimer notre prochain comme tu

nous le demandes.

Aide-nous, Seigneur, à sortir de notre égoïsme et de nos

jalousies.

La route de Ta Volonté est longue et rude.

Mais reste à nos côtés, Seigneur,

Et aide-nous à nous relever à chaque fois que nous

tombons.

Garde notre Foi, Seigneur, pure et forte comme celle d`un

enfant.

Si Tu nous tiens la main,

Cette année, tout se passera bien

Car rien est impossible à Dieu.

A pastor is walking down the street one day

when he notices a small boy trying to use the

doorbell on a house across the street.

However, the boy is very small and the

doorbell is too high for him to reach. After

watching the boy's efforts for some time, the

pastor walks across the street up to the little

fellow and rings the doorbell. Kneeling

down next to the child, the pastor smiles and

asks “And now what, my little man?” to

which the boy relied, “Run!”

The Alzheimer Society Research Program (ASRP) is a collaborative initiative of the provincial Alzheimer Societies, the Alzheimer Society of Canada, partners, and the valuable donors who support research directed at both eradicating dementia and improving the lives of those affected by it.

The ASRP targets two types of research:

1. Biomedical: Focusing on the science of the brain and the changes that are associated with dementia and identifying therapeutic targets to reverse, stop or cure the disease

2. Quality of Life (QoL): Exploring issues that impact the lives of people with dementia and their caregivers, including risk factors, behavioural and cognitive changes, physical support, caregiving and health service delivery
