Program Summary:
The LOFT Assisted Living Hub and Spoke Orillia program provides specialized support to vulnerable and at-risk older adults with complex physical health challenges, mental health challenges, addictions or
cognitive impairment. The program supports each client’s individual needs so they can live safely and in good health in the community as they continue to age. The program helps provide stability to individuals in the surrounding community, helps reduce unnecessary or avoidable ED visits and reduces the length of stay in hospital. The program works with each client on an individualized client care plan based on their wants, needs, and strengths.

Additionally, LOFT staff utilize a standardized assessment tool called the RAICHA to highlight and mitigate risk for decline in the client’s health. The Program Coordinator and Psychogeriatric Case Manager work collaboratively with clients to identify and mitigate barriers that affect their physical and mental health, integrating social determinants of health into their practice. The LOFT Assisted Living Hub and Spoke Orillia program is a community-based program that provides care coordination, case management and personal support.

The team can also provide access to specialized services for mental health and addictions and emergency response planning and equipment. Services may be provided up to 5 hours a week for as long as each client requires support.
