F.J. Davey Home Strategic Plan
for 2009 to 2014
Who We Are
The F.J. Davey Home is a not-for-profit charitable Nursing Home in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Our state of the art facility opened in 2004 and provides 374 long term care beds to approved applicants. We are operated by a volunteer Board of Directors licensed by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care and operate under a service agreement with the North East Local Health Integration Network.
In addition to the facility-based services provided to our residents, the F.J. Davey Home operates two community support programs - Meals-on-Wheels and Alzheimer’s Day Away - through a separate agreement with the North East Local Health Integration Network.
The F.J. Davey Home is a long term member of the Ontario Association of Non-profit Homes and Services for Seniors (OANHSS) and has voluntarily become accredited with Accreditation Canada. Locally, we are a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Chamber of Commerce.
We primarily serve that population requiring long term care services, including accommodation, nursing, social, spiritual, activities of daily living and psychological support.
Other stakeholders of the F.J. Davey Home include our staff, volunteers, families, resident representatives and community partners.
