Miramichi Lodge

Mission Statement

“Miramichi Lodge is an accredited Long Term Care Home that provides a high standard of resident-focused care.

With the support of dedicated staff, volunteers and community partners, our knowledgeable team promotes enhanced lifestyle opportunities through a variety of specialized programs and unique services”

Miramichi Lodge, located in the City of Pembroke, is a non-profit, 166 bed long-term care home.  It is owned and operated by the County of Renfrew and City of Pembroke and has provided quality care to the frail elderly since 1969.

In January 2005, Residents and Staff moved to our brand new, state-of-the-art home located at 725 Pembroke Street West.  What makes Miramichi Lodge particularly unique is the natural setting along the Ottawa River overlooking the Kiwanis Walkway and beside Riverside Park featuring paths that link to these areas.

Miramichi Lodge operates under the direction of the Administrator and is subject to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (MOHLTC) regulations and standards. The Lodge is a non-smoking facility.

The Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA) has awarded a Three Year Accreditation Award to Miramichi Lodge. This represents the highest award granted by the CCHSA. The Accreditation process provides us with the opportunity to benchmark our services to national services and assists us in our continuous quality improvements.

The Home provides 24 hour nursing and personal care, nutritious meals and snacks, activation and recreation, rehabilitation, palliative and pastoral care, housekeeping, laundry and administrative support.
