How to Apply
The Department of Health and Wellness (DHW), Continuing Care Branch manages all assessments and waitlists for admissions to The Meadows.
We understand that decisions about long-term care—for yourself or a loved one—can be difficult. A Care Coordinator can guide you through the process, provide support, and help you make informed choices about care options and suitable accommodations.
To begin the process, please contact Continuing Care Services by phone.
📞 Toll-free in Nova Scotia: 1-800-225-7225
(Applications can only be initiated by telephone.)
The DHW determines how long-term care is funded. Costs are shared between the resident and the provincial government. Residents pay the “monthly accommodation” portion based on their income, while retaining assets and income for personal use and enjoyment.

Moving In
Each private room at The Meadows is thoughtfully furnished to ensure comfort and convenience. Rooms include an armoire, bed with mattress and linens, chair, night table, chest, blinds, flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom.
Additional amenities such as cable and telephone services are available at an extra monthly cost, which will be reviewed with the resident and/or their financial representative prior to admission.
Residents are welcome to bring a personal chair or small furnishings to make their room feel more like home. For safety reasons, all personal furniture must be inspected by our Maintenance Department to ensure it meets fire regulations.
Each resident also has access to a locked curio cabinet outside their room for displaying personal treasures, as well as a locked drawer within the room for safekeeping of small items.
Please note that electrical appliances such as refrigerators, kettles, electric blankets, or heating pads are not permitted in resident rooms due to fire safety regulations.
Upon Admission
Moving into a nursing home can be both emotionally and physically challenging. It’s natural to experience feelings of loss, sadness, or even frustration during this transition. Your loved ones may also share these emotions, feeling a sense of guilt or grief as everyone adjusts to the changes.
Transitioning to Your New Home
Moving into a nursing home can be both emotionally and physically challenging. It’s natural to experience feelings of loss, sadness, or even frustration during this transition. Your loved ones may also share these emotions, feeling a sense of guilt or grief as everyone adjusts to the changes.
Remember, this adjustment takes time. Bringing along familiar items—such as family photographs, handmade keepsakes, or favourite décor pieces—can bring comfort and help your new space feel more like home. Our care team is here to support you and your family every step of the way.
Neighborhood Design
At The Meadows, we follow a unique “neighborhood” model of care, creating small, self-contained communities within our larger home. Each neighborhood is supported by a consistent group of care team members who get to know residents personally, building meaningful relationships and ensuring continuity of care.
While staff may occasionally rotate between neighborhoods to support the wider care team, these changes are infrequent. This approach fosters familiarity, comfort, and a true sense of belonging for every resident.
The First Week
Your first week is about settling in and getting to know your new community. We encourage you to participate in recreational activities and outings, and to meet other residents within your neighborhood and throughout The Meadows. Staying connected with family and friends will also make your transition smoother.
Our goal is to make The Meadows feel not just like a place you live—but a place where you belong.
