Message from the Director, Administrator

As autumn creeps in across the Kawartha Lakes and the leaves begin their vibrant transformation, October brings a sense of coziness at Victoria Manor. There is always something special about this time of year—the transformation offers a natural reminder to slow down, appreciate the warmth of our community, and gather together.

Following our busy and successful summer season—highlighted by our annual car show and other Community celebrations—we are smoothly transitioning into our indoor routines and programs. Our team remains fully focused on delivering excellent, person-centered care, making sure every resident stays comfortable, engaged, and well-supported as the temperature drops.

With these colder months, please remember to drop off any new fall or winter clothing with our care team members so we can ensure every item gets properly labelled and tracked.

As always, a sincere thank you to our dedicated staff, volunteers, and family council members. Your ongoing commitment, hard work, and energy are what make Victoria Manor truly feel like home.
