Long Term Care and Adult Day Programs

HomeLiving Here

Welcome to the Region of Durham's Long-Term Care and Services for Seniors Division. We are pleased you have chosen to visit us and are excited for you to see all that we have to offer.

We own and operate four long-term care homes, all accredited by Accreditation Canada.

Fairview Lodge is in Whitby and has 198 beds.
Lakeview Manor is in Beaverton and has 149 beds (including one short-stay bed).
Both Hillsdale Terraces (200 beds) and Hillsdale Estates (300 beds) are in Oshawa.

Long-term care offers constant care and services for people who are eligible and need extensive support.

We also run three Adult Day Programs at Hillsdale Estates, Lakeview Manor and in Port Perry. Adult Day Programs are part-of-the-day supervised programming in a group setting for dependent adults. Some homes also provide other community services, such as Meals on Wheels.

We hope these services and support systems will help residents and clients live vibrant and full lives. We focus on individualized care. We take an interdisciplinary approach and focus on improving the lives of our residents and clients.

We strive for service excellence by adapting to new and innovative forms of care. Our teams provide the highest quality of service to our clients in a caring and ethical environment. Through a caring community of service providers, we hope Durham Region's seniors have the strong platform they need to live a high quality of life.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us; we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,

Laura MacDermaid, Director
