Therapeutic Recreation
The Recreation Department provides a variety of programs and services for our residents, and the team works very hard to provide an enjoyable and stimulating atmosphere. Families are always welcome to participate.
Residents are encouraged to be active in the interesting and fun activities offered. We strive to provide programming that meets our residents’ social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual needs. Some programs include Montessori programming, restorative exercises, BBQs and socials, live entertainment, and Burlington Humane Society pet visits.
Food & Nutrition
At CAMA Woodlands, the Dietary Department consists of one main kitchen and 4 serveries. Most of the food is prepared in the main kitchen by the Cook and Dietary Aides, aside from small items like toast, coffee, tea, etc. Each resident is provided with 3 meals and 3 snacks per day. This is to help ensure that all residents are meeting their nutritional needs. If needed, residents are provided with additional supplements to help promote a healthy goal weight.
There are two main menus at the Home: Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter. Residents are given a choice of two options at meals. For example, at breakfast, hot and cold cereal is offered, along with toast or muffin, coffee, tea, juice, etc. Before the menus are finalized, they are brought to the Residents’ Council for approval and signed off by our in-house Dietitian along with the Dietitian from the purchased company. All menus follow the Canada Food Guide requirements. Menus for those requiring texture modifications are also supplied. The main modifications are regular, minced, and puréed. Fluid textures range from thin, honey, nectar, and pudding.
The Director of Nutritional Services and the Dietitian review the menu with the residents frequently so that any necessary changes can be made.
Spiritual Care
"We love because He first loved us" - 1 John 4:19
People matter to God, and therefore people matter to us. At CAMA Woodlands, we are committed to caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Spiritual Care, offered from a Christian perspective, is an integral part of our community and is available to residents, families, and staff, while always respecting each individual’s personal spiritual beliefs.
Our Spiritual Care Department works in collaboration with the Therapeutic Department to provide weekly worship services, Bible studies, hymn sings, and prayer support in our chapel. Weekly encouragement services are also offered on each home unit. Family members and friends are welcome to attend all services and programs, and we value partnerships with faith communities supporting members of their congregations who reside at CAMA Woodlands.
Our two full-time Spiritual Care Ministers offer one-to-one spiritual support, including end-of-life care and hospital visits. Through daily in-house visits, they build meaningful relationships and provide comfort and guidance to residents, families, volunteers, and staff. They journey alongside members of the CAMA community through loss and change in their long-term care journeys, supporting them in what brings them meaning and comfort. Spiritual care referrals may be made by residents, families, or members of the health care team.
