Acropolis Manor is composed of three units East Pod, North Pod and West Pod. All Pods are located on the main floor. The two palliative beds are located in East Pod and the three short stay beds are dispersed throughout the three pods.
The building features many amenities and services including a large and small multi-purpose room used for social functions and can be reserved for private family functions. We also have a smaller activities room for small group activities and a kitchen also used for recreational activities, including residents’ programming. There are indoor lounges on each pod and outdoor courtyards that connect the large multi-purpose room and each pod.
Persons living in a long-term care home are offered spiritual support through various religious and spiritual groups that come to the facility on a weekly rotation. Spiritual care may be provided through group meetings, one –to-one visits, sermons and music & song.

Long-term care homes are an integral part of the community where people can live, work, and play. We work together to provide person and family centred care with a focus on individual abilities that nurture a sense of purpose, belonging and companionship. Each person’s unique qualities are embraced and valued; choices are recognized and respected. Together, we will foster a life rich in purpose.
The Residents’ Bill of Rights serves as the foundation for all aspects of our care and operations. Northern Health and each of our staff members are committed to protecting individuals’ rights. As a team, we recognize that every resident is entitled to individualized, quality person-centered care.
