The Nursing Home:
The 34 bed licensed ethno specific nursing home facility is located on the 7th floor of the building. We strive to keep the environment home-like and non-institutional. Funding is provided by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, but is never sufficient. The nursing home relies on donations from the community in order to continue to provide quality care. Nursing Home Mission Statement:
The Nursing home is committed to enriching the quality of life of the Finnish elderly by providing efficient, compassionate and effective resident care. This care is provided with due equity and without discrimination in a Finnish cultural and linguistic setting. Accommodation
There are three different types of accommodation available: standard, semi-private, and private. Rates are standardized and are revised every July by the Ministry of Health. Employment Opportunities:
We are always searching for Finnish and Estonian speaking staff and volunteers. Students looking for placement opportunities are also encouraged to contact us. Admissions to the Nursing Home:
Admission to the nursing home is through the local Community Care Access Centre. Residents receive twenty-four hour care and are admitted when they can no longer manage to live by themselves. To schedule a tour of the Nursing Home, please call the Reception Office- 416 425-4134
