 For
a seventh straight year, the Maimonides Battle
of the Bands™ was
a sellout success! Close to 2,000 people attended the rock
shows over the two-night event at Metropolis. Featuring
distinctive performances from eight bands, Battle of the Bands helped
to raise close to $ 250,000 for Maimonides! Monies raised go toward
the Suite Dreams campaign - a capital renovation project to refurbish
all of the resident living spaces. The $7 million
project will be completed in 2010, ahead of schedule and on budget, completely
funded by donor dollars.

FULL ACCREDITATION STATUS GRANTED TO MAIMONIDES
In October 2009, a team of surveyors from Accreditation Canada met with
the Maimonides community partners, board members, staff, volunteers, residents
and family members in order to assess the standards of quality and safety
at our Centre.
Garnering high praise for the quality of care given to its residents,
Maimonides Geriatric Centre subsequently received incredible feedback
during the general debriefing session.
Surveyors Gayle Campbell and Steven Campbell each said they would be
proud to work at Maimonides, and had trouble narrowing our achievements
down to just a few – but they pointed to the success of the Suite Dreams capital renovation
campaign, our research program, Art for Healing and Planetree as examples of
excellence at Maimonides.
Maimonides has been granted full accreditation status by Accreditation
Canada. A final report will be available in six months. |

Following through on its stated commitment of Working Together for a
Safer Environment, a new safety booklet was recently introduced at Maimonides
for all staff, family members of residents, and visitors to the Centre.
The new booklet covers a range of topics including what to do if you see
a resident fall, how to prevent and control infection, and how to deal with
wandering residents. To download a copy, click here. |
