At Carleton-Kirk Lodge Nursing Home we offer individualized services and compassionate care that address our residents’ medical, social and restorative needs in an environment that maximizes freedom of choice while maintaining a feeling of dignity and a sense of integrity.
The History of Carleton - Kirk Lodge/Complex/Church
The Complex and Lodge were conceived after members of the Carleton Kirk United and West Side Kirk formed one congregation and became known as Carleton-Kirk United Church.
The congregation discovered there was a great need for a senior citizen housing. As the result, a 76-unit apartment for low-income seniors was opened in 1975.
Nine years later the 70-bed nursing home was opened to continue the cycle of care, with the first residents arriving in early February. The official grand opening took place on June 8, 1985.
