A Leader in Seniors' Accomodations
GEM Health Care Group is a Nova Scotian, family run business which has been progressively enhancing the lives of seniors in the communities where they operate since 1979. The first facility acquired by GEM was a combination of 3 Victorian homes where the design, which included many stairs, was not practical for seniors and hampered the ability to deliver effective care. These homes were replaced with the construction of the present Gables Lodge, which was GEM's first step in providing an enhanced service to their seniors. Since then, GEM has acquired and constructed facilities throughout the province and have continued to remain leaders in transforming how health care is delivered to seniors in Nova Scotia. GEM currently operates various levels of seniors' care facilities throughout Nova Scotia, Ontario, and in Hollywood, Florida.
"On behalf of the Terry Fox Foundation, we would like to say a huge thank you to the staff and community of Melville Lodge for participating in the 2017 Silver Fox Event. Your very generous donation of $700.00 for cancer research, along with the donations raised from the other Events across Canada, will help us come closer to finding a cure for this disease. We feel honored and inspired by your dedication to Terry's dream."

"Home Instead Senior Care’s Be a Santa to a Senior program is about pulling together as a community to ensure that seniors who may be isolated over the holidays feel cared for; and experience some holiday cheer. We were thrilled to partner with the helpful team at GEM Health Care Group and Melville Lodge to work together to provide gifts for several of their residents. Our team had a fantastic time celebrating with the residents and caring staff during the gift delivery event. We look forward to continuing to work together in the years to come!"
