Gardens and Horticulture

Here at Trinity Village, you will find over 30 gardens full of flowers and activity.  From burgeoning community vegetable gardens to a quiet shaded haven, opportunities abound for your involvement. In the morning you might sow a row of radish seed in your own garden plot.  In the afternoon you could join a group of friends and design a large flower planter for the porch.  In the Autumn you might find yourself pushing tulips and crocuses into bulb pans to be ready for blooming indoors in February or helping to decorate the front entranceways of the Studios or the Continuing Care Centre with a Fall display.  Whatever your garden interest, the Horticulture Manager will work with you toward achieving your goals.

Spiritual Care: Caring for the Human Spirit at Trinity Village

At Trinity Village, we serve people as they connect their spirituality with their experience of aging and changing abilities. We do this by living out the values of Trinity Village with respect, community, and compassion.

Out of respect we accept and honor the sacredness of each human being entrusted to our care or who passes through our doors. Our inclusive community strives to provide holistic care, which includes spiritual care, for our residents and their families. With the development of a pastoral relationship borne out of compassion for our residents and their families, our Spiritual Care Coordinator provides support for the following:

  • Exploring the meaning and purpose of life
  • Finding hope
  • Addressing grief and loss
  • Religious care
  • End of Life concerns and issues
  • Questions of faith and God

Many and varied opportunities exist to meet with the Spiritual Care Coordinator. They range from one on one meetings with residents and/or family members to fellowship at Tuesday morning worship. Other opportunities informal discussion group over coffee and snacks), Floor Communion Services, Hymn Sings, Memorial Services, Prayer and Meditation, and End of Life and Palliative Care.

 

Family Council

Family Council is a self led and autonomous group consisting of volunteer family members and friends of residents, past and present. We offer advocacy, education, and support for residents, their families, and friends. Some of our accomplishments include education initiatives, financial support, government liaison/advocacy, and staff education/support.


Family Council Corner
Just after you sign in to visit your loved one, is the Family Council Corner. Here you can find our monthly meeting minutes, a binder with past important Family
Council information, and the Compassionate Fund Box. This is a grant program funded and managed by our group to assist Residents who struggle financially.
Applications can be found at the Family Council Corner and in each Home entrance.

The Family Council also provides many opportunities for education and information on the operation of Trinity Village Care Centre and Long Term Care
Homes in general. The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month starting at 6:30 p.m. and are currently being conducted online by Zoom. Please
