It’s been a great summer full of events, outings, & activities, for our Seniors, many of which have utilized Phase 1, the completed foundation, of our outdoor event space project. The space also has its safety railings installed and a small stage added for entertainers.
Now it’s time to ‘raise the roof’!
We’ve been fundraising for 3 years towards completing this space where we can gather all of our residents, tenants, and day participants together outdoors. And a place where we can invite the greater community in to share events, activities, and celebrations with them!
Friends, families, staff, and residents themselves have given generously to this project, paying it forward for future generations. Arrowsmith itself was born out of a community initiative. Over 50 years ago, a small group concerned with lack of housing for Seniors begun gathering support to purchase and build the facilities which started as Arrowsmith Lodge and is now Cokely Manor (assisted living apartments). Answering the need for long-term care in 2005 an additional building was placed on the site, the current Lodge, giving care to 75 residents. Expanding their support into the Oceanside community, an adult day program (ADP) now gives a day of social interaction to more than 50 Seniors weekly, also supporting their caregivers with a day of respite.
NOW, we need partners to invest in this outdoor event space, an investment that will provide community connections to this campus of care for the future.

The beauty of non-profit health facilities is our combined efforts; support and participation from our community help us provide quality care and strong connections for our families, friends, and neighbours needing long-term care and assisted living.
