## Resource

Dan interviews Mike Dier at the Advantage Ontario Convention in Toronto. Mike, representing Sherwood Park Manor, a long-term care facility, discusses his role in running a full-time, seven-day-a-week physiotherapy program. He highlights their proactive approach to integrating physical exercise into daily care for all residents, regardless of their initial needs, rather than it being a specialized program. Mike explains how they adapt exercises to small spaces and individual needs, and looks forward to a new, larger physio department as part of a redevelopment. He emphasizes the benefits of their program in reducing falls by improving balance and mobility, and in promoting overall health and even reversing decline in some residents, noting that their unique full-time physiotherapy program offers consistent care that many other long-term care homes lack.
