If moving into a care home is the best choice, the individual can choose up to three preferred homes, anywhere in the province, as long as those homes can meet their needs.To find out more specific information on a particular care home see our Long-term Care Home locations. An offer of an interim care home may happen while waiting for your preferred care home. A home health professional will explain the options to help the individual make their decision.

Northern Health long-term care homes strives to adhere to a person and family centred care model. It is a partnership between the person we serve in health care system, their family and their care providers. DementiAbility is a program that embodies these qualities. NH has developed a learning module to educate community members on how these person and family centred care principles are applied to a person with dementia.

You will need to sign up first for a free public learning hub account before you can take the DementiAbility Learning Module.
