Harbourview Lodge

About Us

History

Originally known as the Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home opened in 1948 and served the community as the Red Cross Hospital. In 1983 the building was renovated to accommodate 25 Elders, and named in honour of Dr. MacMillan. Following discussions with various stakeholders, we adopted the name Harbourview Lodge.

The "Harbour" is central to the community and represents the fishing and forestry industries. The "Lodge" represents our First Nations culture and a place where the community comes together. We retain both names as a way of preserving our heritage while we also reflect the whole community that we serve.

The Eden Alternative

Harbourview Lodge is proud to be a Registered Eden Alternative Home!

The cornerstone on which we at Harbourview Lodge base our philosophy of care is the "Eden Philosophy". We believe that loneliness, boredom, and helplessness must be addressed in order for us to provide quality care to Elders.

The core concept for Eden is simple and it teaches us that Elders must live in habitats for human beings, not sterile medical institutions. Eden is based on the knowledge that successful human interaction is dependent on caring relationships between Elders, their families, and their care-givers.
