At Delmanor Communities, Supportive Living uses a resident-centred approach that focuses on each senior’s individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. The Delmanor team provides high-quality care while maintaining a warm and welcoming environment where residents can continue living independently, stay socially connected, and enjoy a high quality of life.
What Supportive Living Looks Like Day to Day at Delmanor Wynford

- Medication administration
- Bathing, dressing, or grooming
- Mobility
- Wellness monitoring
- Housekeeping and laundry
Support never means stepping back from community life. Supportive Living and Independent Living residents at Delmanor Wynford are fully integrated and take part in the same dining, fitness, and activity programming.

How Is Care Coordinated With Outside Providers?
Delmanor Wynford can integrate its care package with publicly funded care services through Ontario Health at Home. When a resident’s care needs are at the higher end of the spectrum, Delmanor can also arrange private care support from external care providers.
How Is a Resident’s Care Plan Built?
The first step, before a resident moves in, is a comprehensive assessment. The Health and Wellness team sends a physician statement to the prospective resident and their family for their doctor to complete.
Once the physician has completed the form, the team schedules an in-person meeting with the resident and their family, either at the community or in their home. The resident is asked about their medical history, diagnoses, current medications, any recent falls or hospitalizations, and who helps them with bathing, toileting, transferring, or dressing.
Following that, a medication administration assessment determines whether the resident can manage their own medication safely.
The care plan is reviewed every six months, and whenever there is a significant change in health, cognition, mobility, or personal preferences. When a change occurs, the Health and Wellness team contacts the resident’s family and encourages them to be part of the discussion.
