About Greenwood Court:

Greenwood Court is designed as a 'Community of Care' where seniors are able to age in place.

As the needs of our seniors change, they have access to additional services and supports without having to leave familiar surroundings or newly developed friendships.

Staff and volunteers are committed to making Greenwood Court "a place to call home" for its residents.

Under the direction of the Director of Care, the Nursing Home Care Nurse will assist in the support of residents by assisting others who provide care to residents.
