7:01Okay, let's go.
7:04Okay, I'm gonna call to order the Committee of Management
7:09for the Elliot meeting.
7:13And the first thing on order is,
7:15are there any disclosure of pecuniary interests?
7:20Seeing none.
7:23Could I have confirmation of the minutes
7:25for the March 4th, 2025 be confirmed?
7:29Councillor Klath and seconded by Councillor Caton.
7:33Is there any discussion, question?
7:35So on the minutes, seeing none.
7:39Is there anyone opposed to the minutes?
7:42Seeing none, those are passed.
7:44Okay, we have the usual one item on the consent agenda
7:48and we have online with us, Theresa Moison and Martin Rourow
7:54from the Elliot joining us.
7:59I don't just wanna check and see
8:01if they have anything they want to say to the report.
8:06Good afternoon Chair Daly,
8:07it's Martin Rourow, Chief of Resident Care.
8:09Thank you.
8:11We just wanted to draw your attention
8:12to our update on the butterfly approach
8:17that we've been working through the Elliot for about 18 months.
8:21We did have our accreditation survey
8:23with many four-payer matters,
8:25about early during May, May 6th and 7th.
8:28And we are looking forward to being able to share more
8:33once we get the outcome of that.
8:35We're looking forward to a positive news story
8:39in the coming few weeks.
8:42Other than that, I don't think there's anything
8:44that we want to clarify.
8:45Okay.
8:48Good, thank you for that update.
8:49And we look forward to a further update on that.
8:52That was interesting when we did the tour
8:54to see that butterfly method in action, the approach.
8:58Are there any, just a minute,
9:00before, can somebody put the,
9:02it's just on the motion on the floor
9:06for the consent agenda?
9:07Councillor Richardson, Councillor Rourow, seconds.
9:11Are there any questions?
9:14Councillor Cossin.
9:18Thank you, through you, Chair, to Mr. Rourow.
9:22I just had a question with regard to the butterfly approach.
9:24We've heard so many great things about it
9:26and it's really exciting
9:28that things are continuing to progress.
9:31My question is with regard to the numbers in the report.
9:35So 33% of the staff have completed the training.
9:39Is the goal for all staff to complete the training
9:42or is there a specific number of staff
9:47for the accreditation?
9:48Thank you.
9:50Sure, happy to reply to that, Chair Downer.
9:53So the 33% represents the three home areas
9:57that we have trained.
9:59We are now planning to roll out the continuation
10:03of the expansion of the approach
10:04into our second floor at Long-Term Care,
10:06which will probably be above another 25 or 30% of our staff.
10:11The number is a whole number.
10:12So it's all of the staff who work at the Elliott,
10:14including those who work in the retirement side.
10:18We are contemplating our approach on that side of the house,
10:22but right now we're focused on Long-Term Care.
10:24So anticipate that as we move through
10:27that number will increase,
10:29but the 33% that we referenced here
10:32are all of the staff who work in the Long-Term Care areas
10:35where Butterfly has been fully knee-toed.
10:42Okay, thank you.
10:43And then just a question of clarity.
10:46So you will be trying to have everyone
10:50complete that accreditation.
10:52Correct.
10:54Great, thank you.
10:57Thank you.
10:58Are there any other questions?
10:59Councillor Keaton.
11:01Thank you, Chair.
11:04I just want to congratulate you on having no complaints
11:07and incidents.
11:08I remember in the last report,
11:10we had a couple that we had to go through.
11:11And so I am assuming that you all did some great work
11:15to resolve things.
11:16And I was wondering, could you explain a little bit
11:20about what your process is when you have issues
11:23like on the report about a resident having an issue
11:29with a resident?
11:33Sure, happy to again,
11:35I'm going to chair down.
11:36So it depends on the nature, of course,
11:41and it depends on the people involved.
11:48Usually what is required is we have a behavioral support
11:51structure that supports residents or those who live here
11:56and their families in knowing how to manage
11:59difficult emotions.
12:00And so we do have a team that enables that for us.
12:03And usually there's a resident to resident issue.
12:08We utilize the interventions of that team
12:12to kind of support folks,
12:14people who live here to resolution
12:15and I'll go in through any future pressures
12:20that may or conflicts that may arise.
12:23And those things are considered events
12:27that will be deemed a critical incident.
12:29So they're usually reported in the mastering
12:32and almost all things.
12:37Thank you.
12:43Okay, are there any other questions or comments?
12:48Okay, seeing none, thank you.
12:51Is there anyone opposed to the item on the consent agenda?
12:57The quarterly report?
13:00Seeing none, that passes.
13:02Are there any announcements from the Elliot
13:07that you'd like to pass along, Martin?
13:10I think it's just that we can see
13:12on the butterfly accreditation at this point.
13:16Okay, thank you.
13:18From our staff, are there any announcements?
13:21No, okay, great, thank you.
13:23So could I have a motion to adjourn then?
13:26Councillor Caitlin, seconded by Councillor Croson.
13:31Anyone opposed?
13:33That carries, thanks, we are adjourned.
13:36Thank you so much.
13:37Have a nice afternoon.
13:38Yep, you too.
