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.
