Facility and Resident Support

Housekeeping and Laundry Services

Environmental Services staff is responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the Home.  This includes the cleaning of residents' rooms, washrooms, hallways, dining areas, and all public areas and offices.

All linens and personal clothing are laundered at Shoreham Village unless otherwise arranged by the Resident's family.  The laundry department is not responsible for loss or damage to personal clothing. We recommend "wash and wear" variety. All personal clothing is labeled by the Seamstress once name tags are ordered.  Labels can be obtained from the seamstress if the family wishes to label clothing.  As well as, the guidelines of where the clothing is to be labeled.

On admission, family is requested to mark resident clothing with a laundry marker until the name tags arrive.  This can be obtained at the Nursing Station.

Any clothing items that require mending, alterations, or labeling can be dropped off at the nursing station for the Seamstress.

Maintenance

Maintenance services are provided at Shoreham Village.  The maintenance staff will examine electronic items brought in for residents, such as fans, and lamps to ensure they meet the safety standards and are CSA approved items.  Please advise nursing staff when bringing in electronic items in for a resident as they will notify the maintenance department.

Should a resident require any repair to their room, he or she should inform the Nursing staff who will request the repairs to be completed.

Nutrition Services

Nutrition Services provides high quality food prepared by qualified food service personnel in a clean and safe environment.

A dietitian is on staff at Shoreham Village and is responsible for overseeing the menus, food preparation and to assess any special feeding or nutritional needs of the residents.

Meals include a full hot breakfast, a larger cooked meal at noon and a lighter meal at supper. Meals are adjusted to meet dietary restrictions and preferences of residents as needed.

A number of residents eat in the main dining room, the remainder eat in smaller dining areas located on each wing. The food is transported in a hot food cart to each of the dining areas.
        
Meal times are:
Breakfast 7:15- 9:00 am
Dinner 11:45- 1:00 pm
Supper 4:30- 5:30 pm

Family and friends are welcome to share a meal with loved ones. Visitor meal tickets are available for a nominal fee from the Business Office and given to nutrition services staff in the dining room during meal service.

A kitchenette on each wing is stocked with supplies such as milk, tea, coffee, cookies, crackers, bread and ice cream.
