A visionary leader, Ed Roach, believed in creating a community where people lived with belonging, dignity and choice. Ed partnered with business leaders who believed in his vision and established Northwood in 1962 - the first affordable housing community in Nova Scotia.

Today, Northwood is the largest, non-profit leader in continuing care, East of Montreal and touches the lives over 7,000 Nova Scotians who need special, loving care every day.

As our aging population grows throughout Nova Scotia - so does Northwood. We are here to help people live in a community of belonging, dignity and choice.

The Dignified Living Fund is a special fund created by Northwood staff after recognizing that residents and clients were going without items and services necessary to maintaining their dignity and quality of life. The Dignified Living Fund provides ongoing support to residents and clients who are struggling with medical needs like transportation to appointments, dental work, hearing aids, and other necessities that aren’t covered by the government, their insurance or their income.

Some examples of items funded are:

• Foot care services
• Dental care services and equipment
• Vision care services and equipment
• Travel costs for medical-related appointments
• Mobility aids
• Personal hygiene items - just to mention a few.

Every dollar raised through this online auction helps people in our Northwood Community live with dignity. Thank you for bidding!
