This is accomplished by offering a multi-disciplinary team-based approach that creates opportunities for our employees to make meaningful contributions to residents, the organization and the local community.

What's happening at JHS....
Jarlette Homes are early adopters for Residents First

Residents First is one of the most comprehensive and innovative quality improvement (QI) initiatives in Canada. This provincial initiative supports long-term care homes in Ontario in providing an environment for their residents that enhances their quality of life. Residents First also facilitates comprehensive and lasting change by strengthening the long-term care sector's capacity for quality improvement.

Residents First is partnership driven and supported by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Ontario's local health integration networks (LHINs) are leading implementation at the local level. Training is being delivered by experts in quality improvement through the OHQC.

Congratulations to our newest "Dragon Ladies"

Jarlette Health Services recognizes those who go above and beyond with the Dragon Lady Awards, initiated by Alex Jarlette.

In China, dragons are associated with strength, health, harmony, and good luck.  The dragon person has an active mind and shows an unfeigned interest in the world around them. This person is also self-confident enough to know how to create a necessary impression. Because they are larger than life themselves, dragon people like to do everything on a grand scale. They will stop at nothing to get what they want. They are capable of great achievements if they know how to harness their own tremendous energy, intelligence and talent. While these people enjoy being the center of attention, they also have a brave and charitable side to their personality. If a dragon's friend faces a problem or dilemma, they will be there to offer help, and when others leave the field of battle the dragon takes a step forward to solve the problem with authority and dignity. Dragons set a high standard of actions for themselves as well as for other people.

The people who are recognized with the Dragon Lady Award here in Jarlette have exhibited great  effort in what they do, always going above and beyond and contributing to our core values, of "Everything we do is with Commitment and Passion, Treating people with respect, striving to always do the right thing and being proactively accountable and responsible", they exude these behaviours.  They really do make an Outstanding Difference in the lives of others!

Connecting to our future workforce through Georgian College
As an owner of long-term care homes and a member of Georgian College's Health and Wellness campaign cabinet, I know first-hand the positive impact this centre and Georgian graduates will have on local health care.

Jarlette Health Services is proud to invest in health care education and its future workforce, both of which will make a difference in the lives of others.
