Job Description
Our home is unlike any other long-term care home in Toronto, located in the heart of downtown, near the magnificent Allan Gardens Conservatory and its’ beautiful greenhouses. We are designed to function as an independent village, emphasizing wellness and focusing on the capabilities of individual patients, rather than a disabilities-centered
medical model. We provide a home-like environment and the opportunity for residents to exercise choice and control in their lives. The centre provides 150 long-term care beds and extended community outreach programs. Each resident area has a unique character, which recognizes one’s status as an adult and reinforces a sense of personal identity.
Our residents are some of the most interesting, spectacular people you will ever meet. Their backgrounds are diverse, they come from all over, and they are real people who have lived real lives. They have a story and if you have a minute they’d love to tell it.

Your Contradictions.
We need compassion, but values-based. We want case specific solutions, yet set in principles. We want kindness but with consideration. We want hard-nosed business but not at the expense of people.
