STANLEY (GNB) – Residents and community members joined with provincial representatives to celebrate the official opening of Nashwaak Villa nursing home in Stanley today.
The $9.25-million, 30-bed replacement facility is located on Limekiln Road.
“Providing seniors with good quality care and opportunities to continue contributing to the communities they built is a key part of our government's plan to rebuild New Brunswick,” said Social Development Minister Madeleine Dubé. “Nashwaak Villa provides our seniors with an enhanced quality of life in their community.”
The facility has 23 single rooms; three double rooms; one bariatric room; a rehabilitation therapy room; dining, living and family rooms; service areas such as a hair salon, canteen and gift shop along with an enclosed exterior courtyard.
“Nashwaak Villa is a wonderful asset to the Stanley area,” said Dubé. “Having this facility in the community enables seniors to have access to the care and support they need close to home, family and friends.”
The Nashwaak Villa project is part of the provincial government's 2011-2016 Nursing Home Renovation and Replacement Plan, under which 354 nursing home beds and 704 specialized care beds are being created.
