With their first-ever application, Woodingford Lodge receives the second highest accreditation.
OXFORD COUNTY - A high honour has been given to Woodingford Lodge.
During the Lodge’s first-ever application to Accreditation Canada, they have achieved “Accreditation with Commendation.” Woodingford was evaluated against 282 rigorous standards, and the home successfully met 95 percent of the benchmarks. Areas that were looked at included governance and leadership, care delivery models, emergency preparedness, infection prevention and control, medication management, and the resident care experience.
Director of Long-Term Care in Oxford County, Mark Dager says what this means for the Lodge.
“Achieving Accreditation with Commendation is a testament to the hard work, dedication and passion of our entire team. This recognition reinforces our commitment to excellence in long-term care and ensures we continue to provide a safe, supportive and high-quality environment for our residents and staff.”
The home has a commitment to continuous improvement and enhancing the well-being of residents and staff across the homes in Ingersoll, Tillsonburg and Woodstock. Accreditation is an ongoing process, and Woodingford Lodge will undergo reassessment in four years.
