Lapointe-Fisher Nursing Home

Resources for LTC across the country are stressed beyond their limits. The system in place cannot sustain the demands,,, the wait for a bed anywhere near Guelph is approximately 2 years. LaPointe Fisher is an older building , and has a low grade for reputation. That is unfortunate. My God father was recently offered a bed there. There are dedicated staff that have been there for years, most of them really do care for residents and they cope amazingly well with a poor design of a building and sometimes lack of staffing support. We can always say the biggest room in ANY house is the room for improvement. But I am thankful for the care that my loved one is currently receiving. I hope I can also be a part of the team to improve concerns and make care better. We are all responsible for that. They system needs an entire overhaul , this has an impact on the little places like LaPointe Fisher. But in the meantime I think of my loved on at a cottage and he is in the city he calls home...

When taking care of my grandmother the nurses were great. Very helpful.
