News Briefs from the October 2016 Blue Water Rest Home Board Meeting…

 In September, Blue Water Rest Home was visited by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as part of the annual Resident Quality Inspection (RQI).  This particular visit took the form of a “low risk” inspection, with only three Inspectors visiting for three days, since Blue Water is considered a low risk Home.  The inspection went very well, with far fewer issues to be addressed than last year.  In 2015, the inspection resulted in 11 recommendations with three written orders of non-compliance.  This year, there were only three recommendations with voluntary corrections.  The Inspectors commented that the Residents were happy and that the Home was in great shape. 


In late November, on the occasion of the annual Resident and Family Christmas Dinner, Blue Water Rest Home will be unveiling a plaque in our front lobby to recognize significant donations to the Home over the last few years.  The modern design is appropriate to acknowledge gifts to the Home of $500.00 or more, and is being designed and produced locally by Willow Lake Design of Bayfield.
