In May 2018, Louis Brier Home and Hospital underwent a rigorous evaluation process as part of Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum program, and were successful in achieving Accreditation with Exemplary Standing status.

Accreditation Canada is an independent, not- for-profit organization that sets standards for quality and safety in health care and accredits health organizations in Canada and around the world.

Following a comprehensive self-assessment, trained surveyors from accredited health organizations conducted an on-site survey to evaluate the organization’s performance against Accreditation Canada’s standards of excellence.

The 2018 Accreditation survey reviewed five standards: Governance, Leadership, Infection Control, Medication Management and Long Term Care service, and were successful in meeting 100% of the 511 criteria that were assessed. By undergoing the rigorous Accreditation review process, Louis Brier made significant improvements and changes, and continues to improve to provide safe and high quality health services to residents.

In October 2022, Louis Brier Home and Hospital underwent an accreditation survey and was Accredited with Commendation, which is awarded to organizations that surpass the fundamental requirements of the accreditation program.
Accreditation Canada surveyors spent four days at Louis Brier in October conducting in-depth team interviews, documentation reviews, tours, and conversations with stakeholders including families, and community partners, to determine Louis Brier’s performance against six rigorous standards: Governance, Leadership, Infection Control, Medication Management, Long Term Care service, and Patient Centred Care. In the final accreditation report, Louis Brier met 629 of 644 standards and criteria for an overall score of 98 per cent. This is an amazing accomplishment, given all that has happened around us and in the last three years with the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications.
