Our journey to help the community
In 1974, a group of local citizens approached the Department of Health in order to obtain permission to collect funds for a possible construction and operation of a nursing home in Grand Falls to meet our regional needs. After several meetings, a company was formed and the incorporation took place March 11, 1975 under the name of Grand Falls Manor Inc. The construction of a nursing home with 60 beds began in the fall of 1975 and was completed March 15, 1977 according to the standards of the Department.
In February 1990, Dr. Bernard Nowlan Residence, a housing project of ten units for independent seniors is achieved. The Residence and the Manor is linked to a corridor and tenants can benefit from services offered to residents of the Manor. After several attempts on the part of the stakeholders, in June 1992, the direction of the Manor in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs and The Legion of Grand Falls proceeded to open a ward of twelve beds for veterans the region which is attached to the Manor. Several renovations were also made on the side of sixty beds at the same time.
In spring 2009, construction began on a new nursing home to replace the current with the approval of the Department of Social Development to secure a loan. The opening of the new home known as Falls Villa was opened in the fall of 2010 after twenty months of construction. In the new facility, all 69 beds are governed by provincial law of nursing homes services.
