Yesterday, GEM Health Care Group attended the State of the Province luncheon with the Honourable Tim Houston, Premier of Nova Scotia.

It was great to reconnect with members of the business community and be part of an open conversation about where our province is today, the opportunities ahead, and the challenges we still need to work through together. We appreciated Premier Houston recognizing the healthcare sector and the progress that has been made. For our team, it was a reminder of the hard work and dedication our frontline staff bring every day as they care for and support our residents.

A big thanks to everyone behind the scenes who helped make the event possible.

Some fun updates from Haven Manor!

Residents have been keeping busy lately with outings to the mall, Tim Hortons runs, meals out, and a bit of shopping.

Weekly bingo has also become a big hit. Residents and staff play together every week, making it a community favourite activity for the community to look forward to. This summer, the plan is to take it outside. If the weather cooperates, they are hoping to bring bingo to the Public Gardens, Point Pleasant Park, or the Di**le.

We love to see all the action from this community!

The admiral was paid a special visit by the Belle Voci Choir for a wonderful end-of-the-school-year performance.

It is amazing to see so much talent at such a young age! The community's residents also enjoy their shows and voices. Special shoutout to the group's director, Melissa Hartery 🎶

The Admiral’s Knitting Knook is held twice a month and gives residents a chance to come together, relax, and enjoy each other’s company while knitting or crocheting. It’s a welcoming group where residents can chat, share stories, and work on projects old and new.

The program is led by volunteer Fran Asseff, whose passion for knitting was inspired by her Aunt Marcie. Now 100 years old, Aunt Marcie still knits and continues to pass along stories, wisdom, and a love for the craft!

More than just a hobby, Knitting Knook helps residents stay active and engaged by supporting fine motor skills, mental sharpness, and emotional well-being, all while creating a strong sense of friendship and community.

From staff to volunteers to residents, the community at Haven Manor is full of people worth celebrating.

Today, we want to introduce you to Janet Jenkins, one of the wonderful residents at Haven Manor.

Janet is quiet by nature, but her presence speaks volumes. She volunteers to clean the dining area and set up tables after meals without being asked, keeps her room immaculately tidy, and is always willing to pick something up from the store for a neighbour who needs it. That kind of thoughtfulness is what makes Haven Manor feel like a true home.

She is also a talented baker, which has made her quite popular with those with a sweet tooth in the community!

Janet, thank you for the care and generosity you bring to Haven Manor. You are a true pleasure to have in the community!

This week, GEM Health Care Group celebrated the retirement of a foundational member of our organization, Kathy Maltby.

Kathy’s journey with us is extraordinary. She was the very first hire in our organization, serving first as a Bookkeeper, then as an Assistant Administrator, and finally as Administrator. For 43 years, she has been a pillar of dedication, compassion, and excellence in the Amherst area. From our earliest days to the present, Kathy has helped shape the heart of our care and has seen us grow into the community we are today.

It is rare to see such a lifelong commitment. Kathy, your impact on our residents, their families, and your colleagues is immeasurable. You have set the standard for what it means to serve with heart.

Please join us in wishing Kathy a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement! Thank you for 43 incredible years of service.

We talk a lot about the people who make Haven Manor what it is, and today we want to shine a light on someone who doesn't have to be here, but chooses to be.

Renat Sunny is one of the community’s volunteers, and our residents absolutely love having him around. He shows up consistently, brings positive energy, and takes the time to really connect with people. In a care setting, a familiar face and a meaningful conversation are crucial to care and wellbeing.

We are so grateful for the time and care Renat puts in. It doesn't go unnoticed by our team, and it certainly doesn't go unnoticed by our residents.

Thank you, Renat. We are so glad you are part of the GEM family!
