What's New

Ontario Health East Adult Day Program Guidelines

Beginning in June 2024, leadership from the Champlain ADP Providers Service Network, Seniors Care Network, and the Victoria Order of Nurses (South East) collaborated to develop the Ontario Health East Region Adult Day Program Guidelines. These Guidelines were adapted from the Central East Adult Day Program (ADP) Guidelines, 2020 and further strengthened through recent review and feedback from ADP providers. The goal of the guidelines is to minimize undesirable variation and facilitate the provision of consistent, high-quality programs and services across the Region. We understand that some variation may be necessary to adapt these guidelines to specific programs, local circumstances, and the clients and their wishes.

Frailty Overlay for Integrated Clinical Pathways

Integrated Clinical Pathways (ICPs) support the care of individuals with defined clinical conditions. While many will be successfully managed within ICPs, some may need additional supports. This resource is designed to complement ICPs and help clinicians optimize health outcomes for older adults living with complexity and/or frailty. 

GEM ROI Report

Through the GEM program, older adults receive specialized geriatric emergency management services in the hospital emergency department (ED). These services are provided by GEM nurses or nurse practitioners with advanced training in gerontology. 

 

This report presents findings from a return on investment (ROI) evaluation for the GEM program. 

“The GEM nurse listened to me and made me feel safe when I was scared. Thank you for taking the time to see [me] as a whole person.”
