Together, we build solutions for the timely advancement of excellence and innovation in nursing homes in Nova Scotia

Nursing Homes of Nova Scotia Association is the collective voice for advancing world class nursing homes in Nova Scotia. Founded in 2011, we are a not-for-profit Association supporting not-for-profit, for-profit, municipal, and multi-facility nursing homes across the province of Nova Scotia. We are solution-focused, and bring an innovative approach to address opportunities and challenges across the sector. Our Association believes in advocating and leading to influence change. We are committed to innovative approaches that ensure safe, high-quality standards of care. We support our members by sharing best practices through facilitated round-table discussions; offering educational and networking opportunities; and engaging direct feedback on government policy and sector issues.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge that the land upon which we gather is in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This land is governed by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship. We pay our respects to the Indigenous Mi’Kma’ki People who have occupied this land for over 12,000 years; past, present, and future. We also recognize the 400+ year history of communities of African descent and the 50 African Nova Scotian communities throughout the region today.
