“The Doug Ford government is creating a central agency called Ontario Health to oversee the province's $60-billion health-care system.
The super-agency — unveiled Tuesday by Health Minister Christine Elliott — will be formed by dissolving the 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) and merging their duties with those of six provincial health agencies, including Cancer Care Ontario and eHealth Ontario.”
Hospitality Furnishings has been awarded the 2018 Ontario Long Term Care Association's Most Innovative product with their Elevation4 Wheelchair Accessible Dining Table.

Hospitality Furnishings created the Elevation4 series table with wheelchair accessible dining in mind - this is a unique design which is new to the senior living industry and is one of Hospitality Furnishing's most popular pieces as a result. Although there are other multi-position tables on the market with limited functionality, the Elevation4 stands apart for a number of reasons.
The Elevation4 is built in such a way that each individual has their own independent dining area with complete height and depth customization. At the same time, this product also provides an aspect of socialization, allowing diners to have the best of both worlds! With a clean and modern aesthetic, the Elevation4 design looks great for new builds, or for revitalizing older dining areas.
This design implements hand-tightening ratchets for ease of adjustment; the ratchets themselves are adjustable which prevents any contact with the diner's legs or knees. Hospitality Furnishings advocates for the use of hydraulic lifts for the adjustable surfaces, as opposed to the traditional spring tension found in more dated products this increases the product's durability and ease of use.
These tables are substantially versatile and ideal for healthcare applications. Each individual high-pressure laminate surface measures 33" wide and is adjustable from 27" to 37" with a 9" depth adjustment range. Although the Elevation4 comes with nine standard finishes for the tabletop and edging, Hospitality Furnishings can also implement any standard Wilsonart, Formica, Pionite or Nevamar finish.
For most, a dining table has obvious and standard applications. However, the functionality of a table can carry much deeper ramifications for wheelchair accessible diners, or for those who may need assistive dining services. The Elevation4 table introduces ergonomic flexibility, adaptability, and brings back dignity to wheelchair-accessible dining experiences. Hospitality Furnishings is happy to provide a one-week Elevation4 sample for organizations within Ontario. Email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

"How Beethoven’s Music Speaks Through the Fog of Alzheimer’s"

"The second movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony begins with a minor-key rhythm in the cellos. It sounds like a background rhythm, which it becomes when the violins introduce a second, soaring and entirely different melody. One half the Baltimore Symphony is on stage playing one thing; the other half, another. Next to me, my wife, Carol, leans forward and smiles."
