Knollcrest Lodge
Providing high quality Long-Term Care since 1972 |
| |
| Welcome to our Home! |
|
Knollcrest Lodge represents much more than Long-Term Care for this area. The Home reflects the rural values that we all grew up with, neighbour helping neighbour, friendship and mutual comfort.
Knollcrest Lodge is a charitable, not-for-profit Home, and we place all our resources into maintaining the well-being of those who live here.
Care in this Home is provided by compassionate, professional individuals who place the Residents above all else in health, comfort, dignity, and quality of life. We earn consistent and high reviews from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care for the quality of our services. As a result, we see ourselves as the Home Of Choice in this area.
Our recently completed redevelopment project has transformed the living environment for all Residents, and enhances their daily experience. We now have a large number of private rooms and more individual privacy.
There is more space for all activities and we have received a provincial grant to boost the entertainment facilities for our residents.
On behalf of the residents, volunteers, staff, management and Board of Directors of Knollcrest Lodge, we thank our many donors and individuals for the phenomenal community response to our fundraising efforts by direct donation and through events such as the annual Walk-A-Thon, and to staff for devoting their time as volunteers to: organize dinners, help decorate the building and to compile and publish the cookbook, now in its second printing (copies $15.00 and available at a variety of stores and Knollcrest Lodge: 519-595-8121 ext 110.
We look forward to the next decade in our beautiful new home.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Dave Shearer, Board Chair
Susan Rae, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) |
