Mission
Victoria Village is a vibrant community providing person-centered care with the goal of an individualized aging experience.
Vision
To transform our community by celebrating the ageless spirit of people.
Strategic Planning
Strategic Planning is vital to any forward thinking organization, and at Victoria Village, our Board of Directors has developed a dynamic strategic plan. Our current strategic plan was created in 2020 and was designed to shape the future of the Victoria Village, including examining our mission and vision.
Out of this strategic planning session came a new vibrant vision for the organization, defining our role in providing services for seniors in our community.
Our strategic plan is based on four strategic priorities:
- Advancing Our Purpose
- Leading the Way
- The Ideal Aging Experience
- Partnerships the make a Difference
Advancing our Purpose
A major component of our strategic plan involves advancing our purpose in serving seniors in our community.
The strategic plan has led to a comprehensive Masterplan, slated to be completed in early 2023, that will define the future development of our campus based on a community needs assessment.
As part of this process, Victoria Village has been awarded 128 new long-term care beds by the Province of Ontario.
Leading the Way
As a leader in the healthcare sector, Victoria Village is well positioned to develop and implement exciting new initiatives to support healthcare in our community. One of the key elements of this strategy involves the development of a comprehensive health human resources strategy to ensure that we have the necessary staffing resources available. This strategy will look at innovative approaches to training and education. Victoria Village is leading the way in advancing models of care for seniors within long-term care and part of our strategy is to continue to develop this approach as we introduce new beds into the healthcare system.
The Ideal Aging Experience
Our strategic vision has a focus on looking at what seniors of tomorrow will want in their ideal aging experience. Through our market research and community needs analysis, we will be examining the changing needs of seniors in the future and looking to design our programs and services to meet those needs.
Partnerships that Make a Difference
Victoria Village has developed a strong approach to building partnerships within the healthcare community. Our recent partnerships include participation on the Barrie and Area Ontario Health Team. Through these partnerships, we will help shape the future of healthcare in Barrie.
