Located in the beautiful community of Ailsa Craig, Craigwiel Gardens has been a cornerstone of the community since the 1950s with a trusted long-term care home dedicated to serving our community with compassion and excellence.

Today, Craigwiel Gardens’ campus includes a 70-bed long-term care home and 47 seniors apartments. It is also an important part of the local economy in its role as the largest employer in North Middlesex.

Our vibrant Campus of Care is a place of connection and purpose. It is more than a place to live; it is a hub for physical, social and mental well-being for residents and the wider community. Our Adult Day Centre offers specialized care, Alzheimer’s and Special Needs Programming, and our new Seniors Active Living Centre provides a place for fun, engagement and activities.

At the heart of our organization is a deep-seated belief in the power of kindness. It shapes everything we do from the way we work together to how we serve our community. We believe in being kind to ourselves, to each other and to the community. As we make decisions, we start with one simple question: “What would kindness do here?”
