Our on-site Accreditation Canada survey has concluded. Thank you for showing the best of St. Joe's.

We did this together.

Over the past several months, teams across our long-term care, hospital, community, support, and corporate services came together to prepare, reflect, learn, and share the work we do every day.

During the visit, our surveyors saw more than policies, procedures, and documentation. They saw compassion, teamwork, pride, honesty, and a deep commitment to the people we serve.

1,000+ AccrediReady draw entries
172 Staff through AccrediFair
15+ Mock tracers completed
20+ Department huddles completed

What the visit helped us see

What we need to keep doing

Keep quality visible

Continue using huddles, boards, audits, conversations, and team meetings to show how improvement is happening in day-to-day practice.

Keep sharing the why

When we describe our work, connect it back to safety, dignity, client and resident experience, and the outcomes we are trying to improve.

Keep learning from feedback

Accreditation gives us helpful observations and suggestions. We will use them as a roadmap to keep strengthening our systems.

Keep policies and procedures current

Good documentation should guide practice and make the right thing easier to do. Current policies, procedures, resources, and examples help teams stay aligned.

Keep person-centred care at the centre

Continue showing how client, resident, patient, family, and partner voices shape decisions, improvements, and care planning.

Keep preparing for everyday readiness

Accreditation may be over, but readiness continues through safe practice, clear documentation, thoughtful questions, and small improvements every day.

This work continues because it is our mission

Accreditation was never only about a survey. It was an opportunity to pause, reflect, and show how our mission, vision, and values come to life through the care and support we provide.

Thank you for your preparation, your honesty, your flexibility, and the pride you showed in your work. The visit may be complete, but our commitment to better care continues.

Dignity · Respect · Service · Responsibility · Justice · Discovery
Living Unstoppable Compassion every day.
