The Region of Durham Long-Term Care and Services for Seniors Division has plans (codes) and processes to identify and respond to emergencies. Emergency Plans and colour-coded laminated Emergency code systems are posted in each Home and Adult Day Program. The Code System is used as a teaching, review and reference tool for staff in the event of an emergency. The emergency plans identify the roles and responsibilities for staff, visitors and stakeholders.
EMERGENCY CODES
Testing of Emergency Codes is completed at the intervals requested by the Ministry of Long-Term Care and are outlined in each plan.
