Frost Manor is a licensed and accredited long-term care residence. This 62 bed home with 34 wards, 20 semi private and 8 private rooms is located on a treed residential street in the heart of Lindsay. We are easily accessible by public transit and offer on-site parking facilities. Emergency medical services are easily accessed at Lindsay's Ross Memorial Hospital.

Our staff provides compassionate, supportive and professional care and services Our Behaviour Management Specialist offers leadership and support to staff and families concerning the individualized care of residents with Alzheimer's disease or dementia.

Our commitment to education provides our staff with the knowledge to ensure each resident receives care that respects their individuality and preference.

Our modern, single-level home is designed for residents' comfort. Bedrooms — private and shared — are spacious, attractively decorated and feature en-suite bathrooms. Corridors are wide and accommodating. Residents and visitors can enjoy our comfortable lounges or our cozy library, share a meal at linen-dressed tables in our spacious dining room, watch a video together in our sitting area or enjoy a breath of fresh air under the awning on our patio.

Frost Manor enjoys strong community support. Based on our belief that residents continue to be valued citizens, we encourage them to take part in the life of Lindsay and invite local townspeopfsle to become involved in our home. Our outings include shopping excursions, picnics, scenic boat trips along the Trent Canal, and fall bus tours to Haliburton to enjoy the autumn colours. Our favourite excursion is to the two local fall fairs where our residents proudly enter their baking goods and crafts. Our volunteers add much to the good times we have playing shuffleboard, helping with our summer barbecues, birthday parties, annual bazaars, our annual strawberry tea and holiday dinners. Children, local entertainers and clergy visit us regularly.

Our residents are valued members of home's management team. Our Residents Council provides the opportunity for residents and their family members to participate in planning and evaluating the services in our home and supports a strong line of communication between residents and administration.
