Alexis Lodge, Scarborough, ON

Alexis Lodge is not a nursing home, it is a community.

We are located in a house in the community where we provide our residents with care and support. Alexis Lodge offers a non-medical program of familiar activities tailored to the individual. The staff members are non-uniformed support workers who are familiar with each resident's history and personality. The resident is included in the daily routines of the home as much as possible. For example, a resident who finds food preparation enjoyable and familiar, will be encouraged to participate in the kitchen, under safe supervision. There is quite a bit of flexibility in our daily schedule. If a resident needs to sleep a little longer in the morning, there will still be a fresh, piping hot breakfast waiting for them when they get up.
