Resident Acceptance Policy Oak Tree Manor has been established as both a seniors’ ISL (Independent Supportive Living) setting and a provincially-registered assisted living residence.

Both models include meals, linen service, housekeeping, Lifeline^® emergency response and a light activity program. Assisted living also includes prescribed personal assistance services as part of the tenancy package.

All single residents must be Canadian citizens and a minimum of 65 years old. For couples: one must be 65 years old or over and the other must be at least 60 years old.

Supportive living residents must be functionally independent and able to manage most daily tasks independently. Functional independence is defined as physically, mentally and emotionally able to look after one’s own personal needs and be able to interact socially with other residents.

Functional independence includes:
- Managing personal medications
- Maintaining appropriate personal hygiene
- Maintaining an appropriate diet
- Getting to meals without assistance
- Ability to maintain their suite in a safe, clean and tidy condition
- Ability to live amicably with fellow residents
- Willingness to follow tenancy agreement and guidelines

Assisted living is intended for people who are able to choose and direct their own personal assistant services. Eligible residents would be assessed and a personal care plan prepared in consultation with the resident and health care professionals.

If assisted living residents are unable to choose and direct their personal assistance services or if the residents’ needs exceed what Oak Tree Manor is able to provide, the law then requires that residents must move into more suitable accommodation.
