Our first facility feature of 2026 is none other than the amazing Admiral!
The Admiral Long Term Care Centre is a Level 2 nursing care home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, supporting 66 residents. Overlooking Lakes MicMac and Banook, the location offers a peaceful setting without feeling removed from the community.
Residents live in private rooms with private bathrooms, organized into five smaller neighbourhoods of 12 to 15 residents. Each neighbourhood has shared spaces including a kitchen, dining and living areas, a spa, and access to a secure outdoor garden with paved walking paths and raised flower beds.
Daily life at Admiral includes a variety of recreation programs that support residents’ physical, social, and emotional well-being. These range from music therapy and gardening to exercise programs, bus trips, holiday activities, pet therapy visits, and time spent with volunteers and community groups.
Care is provided by a dedicated and talented interdisciplinary team, with nursing staff available 24 hours a day and physicians on call. Residents also have access to physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietitian services, therapeutic recreation, spiritual care, and a palliative approach to care. Housekeeping, laundry, and emergency call systems are included, with optional services such as hairdressing and massage therapy available.
This facility is chock full of incredible people, and we can’t wait to give them the recognition they deserve!
