Due to supply chain concerns the threshold was not repaired on Monday, but we have heard from the company and the threshold at the front door will be removed and a new one installed to assist with accessibility. Please be patient as you come through the front door with this work happening. This will start at 6:00 pm and will continue into the evening until work is complete.

A Public Inspection and Order Report has been posted on the ministry's Reports on Long-Term Care Homes website and can be accessed through this link.

The OPP and GTA police services are jointly conducting an investigation into Emergency – Grandparent Scams, which target elderly persons throughout Canada.

The majority of the victims are Ontario residents. In recent weeks, the OPP and Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre received reports of fraudsters contacting taxi companies, requesting them to go to long-term care homes to retrieve funds from victims targeted in the Emergency - Grandparent Scams.

In response, MLTC is partnering with the OPP and the Ministry of Health to share the attached prevention materials with Ontario long-term care homes and their residents

For all of us, our residents and their family members to use the umbrellas and awnings for the summer months, we ask that each person put the umbrella down or the awning in after use. If you see an awning out or an umbrella up with no one using it, please feel free to pull it in or put it down.

Thanks for helping to ensure these stay in good working order for us all to enjoy!

A lot of our residents are wanting pet visiting! We have reached out to all of our resources, but no luck. Are you someone that has a pet that has current vaccination status and you would be willing to sign up as a volunteer?

We are looking for you!

We require a current vaccination status of the animal which is kept on file in the admin office and we would need you to fill out the volunteer paperwork to become a registered volunteer. You can come and go on your own time if you want or we can set you up with an activity aide and your visit can become a program.
