Geriatric Residential Care
Assisted living was developed as an alternative to traditional senior housing and healthcare options. The idea is to provide a residential community with the added security of caring to provide assistance if and when needed.

Residents can enjoy the privacy and independence they desire, secure in the knowledge that supportive care is available. The Pines of St. Joseph's is designed for today's residents. We understand that as one becomes older, additional care and attention may be required. But, we believe this does not mean and end to an independent and fulfilling life.

Assisted living at the Pines of St. Joseph's offers residents the opportunity to enjoy their current lifestyles and maintain independence. Residents may now relax and enjoy the special combination of our community atmosphere and personalized supportive care. Assisted living residents enjoy a relaxing atmosphere free of the daily worries associated with living alone, giving them the peace of mind and plenty of opportunities to celebrate life.

Our staff members provide 24 hour care and services that may include personal grooming, dressing and bathing assistance, and scheduling transportation. Our wellness coordinator develops each resident's specialized care plan. Traditional services that are also offered include: weekly housekeeping, suite maintenance, and scheduled transportation for appointments. Health and wellness programmes are another unique feature we provide, which may include: foot care clinics, blood pressure, blood sugars testing, therapy, and much more.
