Please look for the signs located off the Huron entrance for guidance.

From Administration

As we welcome Fall we are still enjoying some beautiful weather. Our Residents love their morning walks in the sun. A reminder to please drive slowly in the Parking Lot to ensure safety for all. You may have noticed the partition up in the foyer in the Retirement home. The solarium is getting a makeover and we look forward to more windows and a brighter space once completed. We want to extend warm wishes to you and your Family for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Enjoy the sunshine and the leaves as they start to turn.

A reminder about those pesky pests, if you see any please let the staff know so we can get rid of them for you. Long Term Care side, with regards to new clothing, please bring to the nursing station so the items go through the proper procedure for labeling. This will ensure no lost clothing.
