  • Accreditation Canada Onsite Survey, October 24-28, 2022

    Bethany will have its Accreditation Canada onsite survey on October 24-28. Three industry peers – Darlene, Melvin and Ruth – will visit corporate offices and our care centres to review our alignment with national standards. Another surveyor, Dion, will be joining virtually.

    Accreditation is our opportunity to showcase and recognize our efforts over the past few years in providing care to our residents and keeping them safe in the midst of a pandemic.

    If you see any of the Accreditation Canada surveyors during the onsite survey week, please give them a warm welcome!
