| Residents’ Computers |
| Origin |
| (March 22, 2010) Report from General Manager, Long-Term Care Homes and Services |
| Summary |
Residents’ computers were first introduced in the homes in 2002. Each home was provided with a computer dedicated for residents’ use. This computer allowed residents to communicate with family and friends via email, write stories or memoirs, and browse the World Wide Web. Since 2002, the resident population in the homes has changed with more residents being computer-savvy and familiar with the use of technology and computers. As a result, in some homes, the one computer for residents’ use is in very high demand.
The division is exploring a sponsorship option through the Toronto Office of Partnerships (TOP) that would provide additional computers for use in the homes by the residents. In the event that the sponsorship option is not successful, then the division will make a recommendation to the Advisory Committee on Long-Term Care Homes and Services for approval to use donations account monies for acquiring additional resident computers. |
