Not for Profit Long Term Care home Located in a beautiful rural setting on 15 acres, we are home to 99 seniors and have a respite room for short term stay.

Our home is the result of a very dedicated and committed community who saw the need for a local care facility. The vision started in the late 1970's and the doors opened in 1986. We are a charitable not for profit long term care facility governed by a volunteer Board of Directors.

Today, we’re sharing something simple that makes a very meaningful difference.

Our new palliative care cart has arrived and is designed to support caregivers throughout their loved one’s end-of-life journey. It helps ensure simple comforts are close at hand, so families can stay by their loved one’s side without needing to step away.

This cart was made possible thanks to Charity Fries and the incredible individuals and local businesses who support this program. Your generosity reaches families at one of the most tender moments of their lives.

Thank you to our community for the kindness, compassion, and care you show our residents and families at every step of the journey 💛

Today, we’re shining a well deserved spotlight on the & District Lions Club true pillars of our community and always the first to step up when help is needed. Whether they’re rolling up their sleeves to support a cause or serving up delicious snacks from the canteen at the fairgrounds, the Lions are always there.

We’re incredibly grateful that during Busting Out the Brews, the Lions will be matching every dollar raised through the silent auction, up to $10,000. That kind of generosity makes a real, tangible difference for Osgoode Care Centre and the people who call it home.

For more than five decades, the Metcalfe and District Lions have been a beacon of service and compassion in Rural Ottawa South. Their long standing commitment has strengthened our community, supported countless initiatives, and touched more lives than can be counted. They don’t just show up, they lead by example.

Thank you to the Metcalfe and District Lions for your unwavering support, your community spirit, and for always being there when it matters most. We’re proud to stand alongside you. 🦁

Last week we had a PAWsitively PAWfect visit, thanks to some very special four-legged friends from Oak Labradors !

From wagging tails to gentle cuddles, our puppy visitors brought smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of joy to everyone they met. And it’s not just adorable. Pet visits have real therapeutic benefits too, helping reduce stress, boost mood, and create meaningful moments of connection. 💙

We’re incredibly grateful to Boyd Bros Concrete Products for stepping up as a Busting Out the Brews matching gift donor for our live auction. Thanks to their generosity, every dollar raised during the live auction will be doubled, turning great moments into even greater impact for Osgoode Care Centre. 💙

For more than a century, Boyd Bros has been known for quality, expertise, and a hands-on commitment to the people they serve. That same care and attention shines through in their support of our community and their belief in the importance of strong, local long-term care.

Matching gifts don’t just multiply dollars. They amplify generosity, excitement, and the difference we can make together. Thank you to the entire Boyd Bros Concrete team for your leadership, your support, and for helping make Busting Out the Brews even more meaningful for our residents and families.

Cold days call for warm treats, and our kitchen smelled amazing during banana muffin making 🍌 Residents rolled up their sleeves, shared a few baking tips, and enjoyed every step along the way.

There’s something so comforting about baking together. Warm muffins, warm hearts, and lots of smiles made this a perfect winter afternoon at Osgoode Care Centre.

Sometimes the hardest part of a visit is knowing what to say. Open-ended, gentle questions can help spark conversation, ease pressure, and make time together feel more natural and meaningful.

Remember, there’s no right or wrong answer. The goal is connection, not perfection.

Check back next month for our next caregiver tip, and as always, let us know in the comments what you’d like help with next.

Music was playing, smiles were everywhere as we rang in the new year! From festive outfits and (non-alcoholic) wine to balloon drops and plenty of laughter, it was such a joyful way to welcome 2026.

Moments like these remind us that celebrations don’t stop with age. They just get better with great company. Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a memorable start to the year.

We’re excited to share a new creative project taking shape at Osgoode Care Centre, our Barn Quilt Project. Led by a talented community member you might recognize from her beautiful quilts displayed at the Metcalfe Fair, this project is all about slowing down, getting creative, and making something meaningful together.

Over the next few months, residents will gather to paint, chat, laugh, and collaborate. It’s not just about the final quilt. It’s about connection, storytelling, and the joy of creating side by side.

Stay tuned as the colours start to come to life.
