Nursing home Health clinic

Nursing Home & Assisted Living Complex History of Grand View Manor Grand View Manor (GVM) was incorporated under the Municipal Housing Corporations Act on July 15th 1969. The registered corporation name was Kings County Senior Citizens Home (KCSCH). Prior to its incorporation, municipalities were mandated to provide services that include Homes for the Aged. Read more With the financial support of Dr. Lalia Chase, the Municipality of Kingswas able to proceed with this project by appointing its first Board of Directors and applying for incorporation. The building was officially opened by Honorable Gordon A. Tidman on October 31, 1970. The Town of Berwick was given top priority as a location because it boasted of a sizable hospital and was able to offer electricity and sewage system (Haskel, H. 1995. The Wagner Years). Complemented with an adjacent land purchase from Minas Basin Pulp and Power Company, KCSCH was able to acquire an adequate piece of land on which to build the Home. Our current Home is now located between the Town of Berwick and Municipality of Kings. The name Grand View Manor was a spur of the moment, nature-inspired, name. The first Board of Directors advertised that $25 would be awarded to anybody who could come up with the “name”. Suggestions included “Shady Rest” and “Sunset Haven”. The Board members were becoming frustrated as they reviewed names…..Suddenly, with a sweep of his arm, Board Member Louis Thomas exclaimed, “What a grand view!” (They were meeting in the new solarium with windows overlooking the valley and the North Mountain. He was referring to the fall colours and setting sun at that time) – The Wagner Years And so the name Grand View Manor was born. Known for its innovative spirit, GVM boasts of the following firsts: - The first training course for Nurses’ Aides working with seniors, leading to a Certificate for Personal Care Worker - The first full-time maintenance staff - The first qualified dietitian - The first organized Activity Department - The first Beauty Shop - The first, in Eastern Canada, to have an apartment complex attached - The first to have a senior’s complex, built and administered by NS Housing Authority and offered services by Grand View Manor - The first separate Alzheimer’s and related Dementia wing in Update description
