Fairmount Home

Fairmount Home Fairmount Home is a 128 bed licensed long-term care home. Staff knows each resident and responds to their social as well as psychological and physical needs.

We have 24-hour nursing and personal care by a physician, nurse practitioner, registered nurses and personal support workers. At Fairmount Home, staff practices the Gentlecare philosophy – resident-focused care which empowers residents to make as many choices as possible. They put the resident first before the task at hand and acknowledge that risk is a normal part of life. Most importantly, they

treat the residents as they would wish to be treated. This philosophy of care allows individuals to maintain control over whatever aspects of their life that they are able and they are encouraged to make choices in the areas that they still can whether it is when they wake up and have breakfast or when and how they have their bath. Everyone is treated with dignity and respect. “Doing it their way” transforms the care from an institutionalized style of care where residents are expected to fit into routines and schedules to treating them as people whose individual stories and styles are known and respected. Being not-for-profit means that 100% of our resources are invested in the interests of the residents. Built in 1968 on a 100-acre parcel of land in a serene pastoral setting, Fairmount is minutes from all of the acute health care facilities and medical offices within downtown Kingston. Residents and their friends and families enjoy the gardens and the paved walkway that meanders through the forest on our property

The second cohort of Fairmount Home Best Practice Spotlight Organization (BPSO) champions began work with a rigorous training session at the home, April 16.

The training was facilitated by Registered Nurses of Ontario (RNAO) Long-Term Care Best Practice Implementation Coach, Deji Bondunde. BPSO Champions provide on-site mentorship to people working with Fairmount Home to help bridge the gap between research and resident care. It's all about ensuring the best possible care for Fairmount residents.

Fairmount is an RNAO BPSO pre-designate, almost two years into its three-year designation journey. BPSO designation is an enduring professional partnership between Fairmount Home and the RNAO. It’s all about independent peer review and ensuring that Fairmount Home’s nursing staff continue to achieve the highest level of state-of-the-art care for residents. When full BPSO designation is achieved, it will signal that Fairmount exceeds professional standards for resident care. It’s independent confirmation that Fairmount nurses are professional leaders among long-term care homes in Ontario.
