AN OVERVIEW OF KNOLLCREST LODGE

Knollcrest Lodge opened in 1972 as a result of local people responding to a need to look after its own people.  We take pride in the excellent quality of Care that we deliver to our residents and their families.  We also take a special pride in our involvement and integration with the area we serve. 

We employ about 80 full- and part-time staff, and with an annual operating budget approaching $4 million, we are one of the largest economic contributors in the region.

Knollcrest Lodge is a non-profit charitable organization with a long history of successful support from many generous donors; this support has allowed us to add many benefits to both our Residents and the Community over the years.  We also enjoy the contributions of over 200 bighearted volunteers.

Today, Knollcrest Lodge is a multi-faceted organization offering many programs and services for the community:

•	Knollcrest Lodge is a fully accredited 78-bed Long Term Care facility, and we consistently achieve high standards of compliance.  The Home offers high quality care and programs delivered by a professional staff, and we are currently redeveloping to enhance the living environment for even more comfort, dignity and privacy.  (More information is available on this site under "What's New".)
•	Community Outreach delivers eleven varied programs and services to area residents to enable them to live independently in their own homes.  One of the key services we provide is transportation, vital in a rural area. We help people can get around for, shopping, appointments, or just visiting friends
•	The Milverton and District Medical Centre opened in the lower level of the Knollcrest building in 2001 as a result of a tremendous community effort to convert available space in the Home to a vital community asset, and retain local primary healthcare - two physicians and their staff
•	As part of the redevelopment process, Knollcrest has developed available Lease Space for additional on-site services and programs for the community.  More healthcare services in this space would greatly complement the Medical Centre
•	As part of Knollcrest's strong interest in housing, we also manage Perth Meadows, an 18-townhome development in the south part of Listowel.  We are planning to develop Milverton Place, a 21-unit seniors Life Lease apartment complex that will have supports available from Community Outreach
