East Cumberland Lodge (ECL)

We are a 74 bed long term care facility located in Pugwash, NS on the shores of the Northumberland Strait in an idyllic, pastoral setting. We are moving forward with several challenging projects to enhance care and improve the lives of our Residents and Families.

We are strategically adopting an increasingly progressive approach to long term care and would love to talk to you about joining our team. We are seeking the best team we can find to help us implement science-based, best practice, changes in every facet of care.

We are working towards state of the art enhancements in providing the best care possible for our population. We are making advancements in caring for clients with Alzheimer's & related dementias, managing challenging behaviours, palliative care, reducing polypharmacy and an amazing new recreation opportunity that Residents, Families and Staff alike can participate in. We have acquired a license for a virtual reality system tailored specifically for the needs of the elderly with an array of programs, activities and content to engage our clients in experiences and activities that they could not access or enjoy otherwise.
