Adjacent to this room is our "Fireside Room", appropriately named for the cozy sitting area around a warm glowing fireplace.  This room houses a "memory corner", with numerous treasures from the past on display.  Each of these rooms exit onto one of two patios or our Long Term Care garden.  The garden is filled with a variety of trees, plants and flowers for all seasons.  There are numerous bird feeders, statuary, and other whimsical garden decorations.  The garden surrounds a gazebo, which is framed with flower boxes.  These boxes are wheelchair accessible and are planted by residents every spring. 

The Activities Room has a wheelchair accessible kitchen and also exits onto another patio.  Long Term Care bedrooms are roomy and bright. Each includes a window, with views of the garden area of the adjacent Bridge Street Park.  The hallways are filled with beautiful works of art which have been donated to the residents over the years.  Regular Resident Council meetings allow residents to have input on important things such as activities, outings, and the contents of the next cooking class.

Our LTC families and the community are very involved with the residents.  Families of residents are welcome and encouraged to participate in the resident's plan of care, as well as special dinners throughout the year.  When entering Long Term Care, you are greeted by smiles and a sign reading "Here, at whatever hour you come, you will find light and help and human kindness".  For information please call Extension 470.
