Education Highlight

As part of our annual education requirements, Harbour View Haven offers training to all staff 

members and volunteers on the importance of the Persons for Protection in Care Act (PPCA). Staff  took part in training at the end of 2022.


What is this Act for?

The PPCA came into force on October 1, 2007. It is used as a safeguard for residents who are 

receiving care in any Nova Scotia hospital, residential care facility, long-term care facility,

homes for the aged or (dis)Alibied persons under the Home for Special Care Act, or group 

homes/residential centres under the Children and Family Services Act.


Under this Act abuse is clearly defined in addition to our re- sponsibility to report concerns. 

Abuse is not always physical, it can be psychological, emotional, sexual, a form of neglect, theft of a resident’s belongings or medical abuse which could include withholding essential treatment.  The Act also requires all health facility administrators and service providers (including staff and volunteers) to promptly report all allegations or instances of abuse.


Anyone may report suspected abuse under this Act by calling:

1-800-225-7225.

Mealtimes at HVH At our last Resident Council meeting, it was discussed and primarily opted for, flipping our bigger meal from noon to supper time. With providing a very large breakfast, followed by the large main meal for lunch, many residents are too full to consume that meal (which contains most of their daily calories and protein). Due to this, many are quite hungry by supper time when the lighter meal is served. With residents’ input, we are looking at moving our largest meal to supper time.  Benefits of this include: Improved satiety throughout the evening Less hypoglycemia with morning blood sugars Increased likelihood of consuming the large, main meal The ability to sleep in & have a late breakfast, without compromising intake of the larger meal Stay tuned for results of our residents’ votes! ~ Food Services Team
