While you're here

At Dr. Kemp’s House, residents receive compassionate, person-centred care in a warm, home-like setting, with support for the people who are important to them. Alongside 24/7 nursing care, counselling, spiritual care and volunteer support, complementary therapies such as music therapy, pet therapy and massage therapy may be available based on each resident’s needs and preferences. Together, these services support comfort, connection and meaningful time with family and friends.

Legacy-Building Projects

Legacy-building projects give residents and families, including children and youth, opportunities to spend meaningful time together and create keepsakes that reflect each resident’s story, relationships, interests and values. Depending on what feels right for each family, these may include legacy photography, digital handprint art, fingerprint keepsakes and Forever Hugs. 

If you would like to learn more or take part in a legacy-building project, please call us at 905-387-2448 and ask to be connected with Kayla, Kathy or Laura.
