Nestled
in the Ottawa Valley in one of the most picturesque
parts of Ontario, Cobden is a small community
close to Pembroke and about an hour north of Ottawa.
Caressant Care Cobden was opened
in July 2000 and this Nursing Home became one
of the first built to the New Design Standards
set out by the Ministry of Health and Long Term
Care.
We have 60 nursing home beds which are standard
(2 people in a semi-divided room) or private with
their own ensuite bathroom. Residents now live
in their own “Home” of no more than
32 Residents. Each Unit has a dining room, activity/lounge
areas, etc. There is also a large activity room
for all residents to join together for events,
as well as a small Chapel for the use of residents
and families. Activities range from crafts, bingo,
get fit, bible study, and Birthday Parties, as
well as outside entertainment are provided by
local bands, speakers, and other groups within
the area. The building is structured around an
inner courtyard with access from the Nursing Home
and the adjacent Retirement Home, offering residents
a quiet and secure outdoor area to enjoy. Caressant
Care Cobden also was able provide space for the
Cobden Public Library within the building thus
providing a close contact with the community itself.
Our residents enjoy 3 home-cooked
meals every day that are prepared by our Dietary
staff, and physician-ordered diets can be accommodated.
