My elderly father has advanced Alzheimers disease and was recently hospitalized for close to 2 weeks with pneumonia. He was on the critical wait list for longterm care but wait time are prolonged and he was dwindling in hospital. He returned home briefly and it became clear that even with maximal support from Ontario Health at Home we would not be able to manage. Arbor trace came to the rescue. They immediately recognized the critical nature of the situation and the difficult emotional transition we were facing and expertly facilitated our urgent transfer from home to the care of Arbor Trace. Nicole Boucher was our person of first contact and she was particularly warm and compassionate in helping us through the process - lots paperwork with transfer of information from doctors and pharmacy. We really needed her expert support as we were exhausted. All of the staff were welcoming and even helped us move in furniture items. Once there, our father quickly developed relationships with his caregivers. The PSWs and Nursing staff were caring and professional. The facilities are well designed, a locked ward for safety and central nursing station overseeing all areas. They have room monitors ( motion detectors) which were particularly reassuring for us as our father was at risk of falling. We felt safe leaving our loved one there and received updates from staff whenever there was concern. Would recommend Arbor Trace to anyone requiring this level of support.
