New management procedure for users in a private seniors’ residence (PSR)

A new management procedure for private seniors’ residences (PSRs) has been in place since June 22. Its purpose is to intervene early with PSRs in the territory, but also with users who are followed or not by home care services (i.e., even those who are not known to our services), whether or not their symptoms are related to COVID-19.

Main objectives of the procedure:

  1. Ensure user safety by allowing the elderly person to receive care and services adapted to their condition, directly at their place of residence, at the right time and administered by the right person;
  2. Support the PSRs in their decision-making process;
  3. As much as possible, avoid unnecessary transfers and visits to the emergency department.

In concrete terms, in the event that a resident experiences a deterioration in their physical and mental condition and requires an assessment, your teams can now speak to a nurse 24/7, including holidays, so as to intervene as quickly as possible and to determine how best to care for the resident.

See the memo for full details, contact information, and the detailed trajectory. (documents available in French only)

Presence of significant caregivers in the residences

Since May 11, 2020, significant caregivers have been authorized to provide support to residents in IR-FTRs and PSRs. However, this new measure is subject to specific conditions being met, which will ensure an acceptable balance between the associated risks and benefits. The Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux has confirmed that facilities wishing to be exempted from this new measure must obtain its authorization.
