Each location features secure outdoor spaces, communal areas, and specialized amenities like chapels and libraries to enhance residents' quality of life. Our team of dedicated professionals and volunteers works tirelessly to maintain a dignified, individualized care approach rooted in our founders' original vision.With over 100 years of service, we remain committed to evolving with residents' needs while preserving the warmth and inclusivity that define our organization. Our Selkirk facility, established in 1966 with expansions in 1970, accommodates 91 residents, while our Gimli home, originally opened in 1915 and modernized in 1990, serves 80 residents. Both locations reflect our ongoing dedication to excellence in senior care through continuous facility improvements and staff development. We measure success by the comfort, safety, and happiness of those entrusted to our care, ensuring each day honors our founding principle of providing a 'House of God' for Manitoba's aging population.

I wish there was more nurses around helping the people living in here..lots of people sitting in there urin. And no one to help. I understand it's a big job but there should be more help. I don't know if it's a government issue or staff.. the food is all home made, and tasty. The kitchen area and dining room very clean..
