At Idlewyld Manor, we care for our residents as we would our own family. We understand that each person is unique and ensure care is delivered in a way that meets individual needs and preferences. Our team of healthcare professionals delivers customized care plans. We have a dedicated team of on-site physicians and care professionals who work together to provide a full range of health services.

At Idlewyld Manor, we offer an inviting range of daytime, evening, and weekend recreation programs. Upon admission, each resident is individually assessed and asked (with input from their family, if required) to identify their social history and leisure interests. The recreation team works with each resident and plans programs based on individual interests, needs and abilities.
