When Home Care does not meet the needs of a person and nursing home care is not required, a residential care facility may be the solution. Residential care facilities provide people with personal care, supervision and accommodation in a safe and supportive environment. (People living in residential care facilities must have the ability to self-evacuate in the event of an emergency.)
GEM's Residential Care facilities are located in Halifax and Amherst, Nova Scotia and provide comfort and security to those individuals who prefer to live alone and maintain a sense of independence, but require supervision or assistance with some of their activities of daily living. These facilities offer our clients a well-appointed private or semi private suite, an activity program suited to individual interests and abilities which keeps them as engaged as they want to be, and nutritious home cooked meals prepared by professional chefs under the direction of our nutritionist. As is the case with all of GEM's facilities, their professional health care staff are committed to seeing that each client's needs are met and their lives are enhanced as much as possible. GEM's Residential Care facilities are licensed by the Nova Scotia Dept of Health and Wellness and all admissions are gained through their single entry access system.
