Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac (Villa St Joseph for short) is a 79-bed long term care facility located in Dayton, Nova Scotia. It continued in operation until 1960.

In the early 1930's, the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company built the Lakeside Inn on the site. On April 1, 1960, the Congregation (Les Religieuses Hospitalieres de Saint- Joseph) bought Lakeside Inn that had been up for sale by the Canadian Pacific Company at a very good price, with the condition that the property be used exclusively as a hospital, a home for the aged, a religious education institution, or similar work. Today, Villa Saint-Joseph du Lac operates as a provincially funded, not-for-profit facility with an operating capacity of 79 residents. After 55 years of residing in the former Lakeside Hotel, the new Villa opened its doors on July 4, 2015. The new building is a two story construction containing 79 private rooms divided into 6 separate villas under one roof.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out and took on our Escape Room challenge.
We had 19 brave teams step up to the puzzles, twists, and surprises, they all came close… but only 7 teams managed to escape! 🗝️✨

Your energy, teamwork, and determination made it such a fun and memorable event. We loved watching the problem-solving, the laughter, and those “aha!” moments.

Until next time… will YOU be able to escape?
Keep your eyes open for a potential September date! 👀

We are so excited to announce that we are getting our very own Danielle Mahood mural! 😍

This project has been years of fundraising in the making. We are so grateful for the continued community support, and thrilled to support a local artist in return. ❤️

A number of Resident rooms have faced a brick wall for the last 10 years… I think this will be a very big upgrade!

If you’re in the neighborhood come check it out and see the progression! 🎨
