Launch events for strategies to promote good treatment practices in LTCs

This past February 6 and 12, we held two events to celebrate the good treatment practices at two CIUSSS West-Central Montreal long-term care centres, the Donald Berman Maimonides Geriatric Centre and the Saint Andrew Residential Centre. Numerous surprises and activities awaited attendees when they arrived.

These events are the result of the “Démarche de valorisation des pratiques de bientraitance en CHSLD” following for the call for project proposals Soutien à la réalisation de projets visant la création d’environnements favorables à la bientraitance en centres d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée submitted by the Secrétariat aux aînés (SA) from the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS).

This projet was led by the Domain of Expertise to Counter Mistreatment of the Centre for Research and Expertise in Social Gerontology (CREGES) in collaboration with residents, staff, family members, and the management of two long-term care residences of the CIUSSS West-Central Montreal, as well as the SAPA (Soutien à l’autonomie des personnes âgées), DAAER (Direction des affaires académiques et de l’éthique de la recherche), and DQTEVE-SV (Direction de la Qualité, Transformation, Évaluation, Valeur, Éthique clinique et organisationnelle et des Soins Virtuels) departments of the CIUSSS West-Central Montreal.

The event featured the launch of a number of strategies developed over the past year, including a permanent photo exhibition and a mural showcasing good-treatment practices, a video featuring testimonials from residents and employees on what good-treatment means, and a zine and comic book promoting good-treatment practices on display at these two CHSLDs.
