Admission Procedure

Eligibility for Admission to a Long-Term Care Facility

All persons seeking admission to Fairhaven must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
  • Have valid health insurance
  • Be unable to have their needs met in their existing residence by commmunity or other services
  • Have needs that may be appropriately served by Fairhaven

Procedure

  1. The person seeking admission and/or representative (e.g., power of attorney) must first contact the Peterborough Community Access Centre (see contact information below).

  2. If a person is deemed eligible by the Peterborough Community Access Centre, the person and/or representative is asked to select three facilities of their choice in the Peterborough area, of which Fairhaven can be one.

  3. During the selection process, the person and/or representative may wish to tour the facility. Call 705-743-4265 to arrange for an appointment.

  4. When a suitable room becomes available at Fairhaven, the person will receive a "bed offer" from the Peterborough Community Access Centre.  The person and/or representative may view the specific room as part of the decision-making process.

  5. If the person and/or representative accepts the bed, then the Peterborough Community Access Centre coordinates the details of admission.
