The Four Seasons Lodge

The Four Seasons Lodge is a 14-bed, resident-focused, Long-Term Care Home located at Deep River and District Health at 117 Banting Drive in Deep River. Established in 2003, the Four Seasons Lodge is committed to providing quality care in a home-like environment with a respectful manner recognizing the individual needs of each resident.

Our Philosophy of Care

We provide a resident-focused living environment using an interdisciplinary team of professional staff and volunteers. We believe in a wellness model of care which maintains and enhances the quality of life for each individual resident. We strive to maximize independence and individual strengths and capabilities to promote the health of the body, mind and spirit.

We strive for continuous quality improvement through communication, productive interdisciplinary team work, mutual pride and respect between staff and community. Our dedicated staff provides the Home's residents with quality professional care and personal services. There is a large dining and living area, a chapel and a secured outdoor courtyard area with a garden overlooking a pristine forested area.

The Residents' Bill of Rights

Ontario's Fixing Long-Term Care Homes Act (FLTCA), 2021 includes a Residents' Bill of Rights afforded to all persons living in Long-Term Care Homes. The requirements in the FLTCA ensure that residents receive safe, consistent, and high-quality resident-centered care in settings where residents feel at home, are treated with respect, and have the supports and services they need for their health and well-being.

Residents' and Family Council

A joint Residents' and Family Council made up of and representing all residents and families in our Long-Term Care Home gather on a monthly basis. The Council provides residents and family members with an opportunity to promote residential rights, autonomy and decision making, and serves as a means by which residents maintain a degree of control over their lives and share in the management of their home.

The Council meets on a monthly basis to discuss changes and concerns affecting the residents’ quality of life. During these meetings residents can share input and provide feedback on programs, activities and other occurrences in the home. This forum allows residents the opportunity to network, share information and keep up to date on any new or upcoming changes or events happening in their home. Minutes are posted in the home.
