More than 30 years ago the Ursuline Sisters of Prelate built St Angela's for their aging Community. Now they have opened the doors to the public as a Personal Care Home. Many Sisters still live at St Angela's and they have taught, lived and emulated the life of St Angela and of St Ursula for the compassionate staff who do their work guided by those Charisms. Residents of St Angela’s are cared for as whole persons; physical, spiritual, intellectual and social beings. Caring is our Priority.

As a personal care home, providing personal care is only part of what we do here. Our holistic approach to care means that we place equal importance to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Our unique activities program, S.A.M.E. (social activity maintenance experience), is exclusive to St Angela Merici Residence. Activities are purposeful and meaningful, modified to make sure everyone can participate and enjoy regardless of their physical or cognitive abilities. Our program has shown to lower anxiety and depression, and gives purpose and meaning to daily living by maintaining social skills and making real human connections. Resident meetings are once a month. Our wonderful kitchen staff make the transition to a new place easier by listening to likes and dislikes and getting to know residents. Breakfast starts at 6:45 and is available until before lunch. We don't require our residents to be up by a certain time to get breakfast; it's ok if you want to sleep in. Dinner is at 11:45am and is the heavier meal of the day, with Supper at 4:45pm - just a little lighter. Our menu is created and in compliance with the Canada Dietitians Guide and Canada Food Guide.
Compassionate staff are essential to the amazing care that residents receive from all of the departments; maintenance, kitchen, housekeeping, nursing/care-giving, recreation, spiritual care and administration. All who enter St Angela's are treated, as they should, with dignity and respect!
