Seniors home in New Glasgow launches new website to allow people to keep in touch with events, stories and photos

Glen Haven Manor has launched a new generation website in an effort to provide easy-to-access and up-to-date informatio­n for residents, families and staff at the long-term care facility.

The website, launched on Friday, was built and designed by a locally owned multimedia company, RavenMedia, owned by Jon Visser.

RavenMedia worked closely with the Glen Haven team led by Donna MacLane, community, relationsh­ips and engagement; Kimberly Dickson, communicat­ions

and media relations; and Janice Jordan, employee relations, to create a vision, framework, editorial content and strategic direction for the new website.

As a highlight of its launch, the new website features a video production of Glen Haven’s Year in Review for 2017, developed by Visser and the Glen Haven team. Previously the Year in Review was designed as a print publicatio­n but this year the video production adds a new dimension to this communicat­ions piece for Glen Haven.

The website will allow for easy notificati­on of changes in events, advisories and the dining menu

the moment they take place. The website also sports a sleek, fresh look with new modules that will regularly change such as a Thru the Lens spot on the home page which will feature Glen Haven happenings on a weekly basis as well as news releases, stories with photos and news coverage. Also new will be the enhanced presentati­on Recreation Calendar and the Residents Dining Menu.

“There is expanded informatio­n on the exceptiona­l individual­ized quality long-term care services offered by Glen Haven as well as links to important resources for those interested in finding

out more about long-term care at Glen Haven,” said CEO Lisa Smith. “We are committed to providing easily accessible informatio­n for our residents and their families, potential residents as well as other stakeholde­rs, the community at large and all of our partners in care.

Within the next phase of the website, a secure staff intranet will provide team members constant access to elements such as scheduling, internal communicat­ions and e-learning elements from any location via a simple to use login on all devices with internet access.
