GEM Health Care Group is happy to share that the Meals on Wheels program at Milford Haven will continue. While we had previously announced plans to discontinue the service due to federal tax regulations, we’ve worked hard to keep this vital program available for those who depend on it. Meals on Wheels is more than a meal, it’s a lifeline for seniors and vulnerable individuals in our community.

We recently met with MLA Greg Morrow for Guysborough-Tracadie and community stakeholders, and are reaching out to local not-for-profit organizations to ensure this service remains for the long term.

Thank you for your support and understanding as we work together to keep care and compassion at the heart of Milford Haven.

🎄 From all of us at GEM Health Care Group, Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!

Our Melville community's The Night Before Christmas play was made extra special this year 🎄

Wednesday, residents and guests gathered to enjoy The Night Before Christmas, performed by our very own Melville Players and led by the wonderful Mrs. Eva Mae Gray!

This long-standing tradition has been bringing smiles and holiday cheer for many years, and it was a joy to see everyone come together once again to celebrate the season.

At GEM, having a diverse and representative team is one of our greatest strengths. By bringing different perspectives and experiences to our work, we’re better able to understand and meet the unique needs of each resident, providing care that is thoughtful, compassionate, and high-quality.

In line with this core value, we’re proud to spotlight a valued team member of Gables Lodge.

Amandeep has been part of the Gables Lodge team for seven months as an OTA/PTA. He chose this path because he loves fitness and helping people stay healthy, and he genuinely enjoys seeing residents grow more confident and independent in their daily routines.

Amandeep’s cultural values, stemming from Punjab, India, play a large role in how he works. He has a deep respect for elders, a strong sense of community, and a tradition of selfless service. These values guide how he supports residents and colleagues alike, bringing kindness, patience, and care to everything he does. For him, the best part of the day is seeing residents smile.

He appreciates the supportive environment at Gables Lodge and looks forward to continuing to develop his skills and experience. His advice to anyone entering this field: “Be patient, be kind, and always be willing to learn.”

We’re so thankful to have Amandeep on our team for all the care, energy, and positivity he brings to residents and colleagues every day!

Today’s Gables Lodge feature highlights a couple who’ve become a big part of the heart of the community, Bonnie and Raymond.

From the moment they arrived, they brought positivity and a sense of community with them. They look out for the people around them, participate in activities, check in on neighbours, and always make space for fun. Over time, they’ve grown close with residents and staff alike, and it’s hard to imagine the building without them.

Bonnie and Raymond have a special knack for making others feel comfortable and included, and that kindness has made them feel like family here.

A huge thank you for being wonderful additions to the Gables Lodge community; it is an absolute pleasure to have you both!

Next up in our Gables Lodge feature is the facility’s co-op student, Lance Dixon.

Lance has quickly become a reliable and upbeat presence in the building. He’s made genuine connections with residents and staff, and he’s always willing to step in and help wherever he’s needed. His positive attitude brings an extra bit of energy to the day, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed.

Thank you, Lance, for your hard work, your kindness, and the way you’ve embraced being part of the Gables Lodge team. Keep up the great work!
