Ontario’s Local Priorities Fund to support families in transitioning to long-term care

Woodingford Lodge is thrilled to announce that the Family Transition Program has been awarded funding through Ontario’s Local Priorities Fund initiative. This significant support will enable Woodingford Lodge to expand and enhance its services dedicated to improving health outcomes and addressing local health priorities within our community. The Family Transition program aims to ensure a safe and smooth adjustment while also working to decrease the number of emergency visits to the hospital. This funding allows the Family Transition Program to further its mission and better serve the community.

Woodingford Lodge is looking for volunteers who are interested in helping with activities, supporting services at the home, or using their special skills and talents to develop new programs.

The Oxford County Long-Term Care Nutritional Review took place over 2022 with financial support from Ontario's Municipal Modernization Fund. The review looked at the quality and cost-efficiency of the existing nutritional service (meal) delivery at Woodingford Lodge’s three long-term care sites in Woodstock, Tillsonburg and Ingersoll. It found that Woodingford is providing high-quality meals to residents, but could consider more menu choices among other enhancements.

On January 25, 2023, Oxford County Council unanimously endorsed submitting an application for provincial funding to build a new, minimum 160-bed long-term care home in Ingersoll. If approved, this project would bring much-needed long-term care beds to the County, specifically Ingersoll, which has the lowest number of beds among the Oxford communities providing long-term care. The project would draw on the resources and staff expertise of Alexandra Hospital and the existing 34-bed Woodingford facility in Ingersoll under a “campus of care” model, providing exemplary service to seniors and others and potentially creating more than 200 jobs in our community.
