Nakile Home For Special Care

03/27/2026

🥗 Nutrition Month might be wrapping up, but the goodness doesn’t stop here at Nakile!

Today, our residents and staff enjoyed a fresh, colourful salad bar filled with a variety of tasty options and bright flavours—beautifully put together by our amazing dietitian and dietary team.

A big thank you to Sysco for donating fresh veggies for our salad bar—it brought a little extra freshness to our day! 💚

Moments like these may seem simple, but they go a long way in making each day feel a little more special—for both residents and staff.

Take a peek at some of the smiles (and delicious plates!) below 👇

⚠️ Attention Visitors of Nakile ⚠️

Due to two positive cases of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) within our resident population and several additional residents who are now symptomatic, we are taking the precautionary step of implementing mandatory masking requirements for all staff and visitors while at Nakile Home for Special Care.

Although currently, there are only two cases of RSV, we feel that this is the most appropriate step to take to help reduce the risk of further illness for ourselves and our residents.

Please remember to self-screen prior to coming into our home and, if you are showing signs of any illness, please stay home.

Remember to sanitize your hands before and after entering the building, and wear a Nakile approved mask while at Nakile, until further notice.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,

Nakile Leadership

Picasso, is that you? 🎨

Darcy D’Eon taught us a thing or two about watercolour painting this afternoon, and we created beautiful paintings with her guidance. We channelled our inner Pablo Picasso — one brushstroke at a time.

Creativity has no age limit. 💐

⛸️ A wonderful afternoon on the ice!

We had the opportunity to take part in a special skating outing alongside other long-term care homes in our community—and what a day it was!

With support from our amazing staff and volunteers, residents enjoyed time on the ice, fresh air, and plenty of smiles and laughter. Moments like these remind us how important connection, community, and meaningful experiences are at every stage of life 💙

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this outing possible from those ensuring the folks made it out the door to those on the ice—we couldn’t do it without you!
