Dundas Manor...right now Dundas Manor is warm and cozy – but it is also crowded and dated. It was built in 1978 for 60 residents. While 38 beds were added over the years, the kitchen, dining areas and gathering spaces didn’t change. The dining space is so limited that some residents literally eat their meals MRXLILEPP[E]XEǺQIQFIVW[SVOMRSǽGIWXLEXYWIHXSFIGPSWIXW Two people can barely pass by one another in the narrow hallways. The building is deteriorating, and renovations are not practical or cost IǺIGXMZI.XƶWXMQIJSVEFVERHRI[PEVKIVWEJIERHGSQJSVXEFPILSQI The new Dundas Manor... because of you The new home will have four resident home areas, called Homesteads. Each one will have a wonderful gathering space as well as beautiful outdoor gardens nearby. Hallway dining will be a thing of the past as there will be four large, bright dining rooms with enough space for everyone. All rooms in the new home will have only one or two residents – and everyone will have a window view, which is not the case now. Current and future residents – and our local communities – rely on Dundas Manor to provide 24/7 care, 365 days a year. We need to keep caring for those residents in a new, safe Dundas Manor. They deserve nothing less.
