The Home has a beautiful, dedicated multi-faith worship center which is accessible to residents, families and staff for private worship and other individual or group religious activities. The Home employs a Chaplain who co-ordinates regular denominational and inter-denominational services which are held in the worship centre. The residents also have access to spiritual companion volunteers who visit for prayer, study, companionship and friendship. In addition, the chaplain offers pastoral counseling, grief and bereavement support, palliative care support, arranges memorial services and individualized contact when needed.

Education is provided throughout the year to our volunteers, staff, residents and families keeping them updated on the Ministry changes, influenza and how virus’ spread, hand washing, as well as residents rights.

Our Business Office is open during the week, with evening and weekend appointments available on request. Our approach is to assist our families as well as our residents with the transition to your loved ones' new home.

The recreation and activities department is organized to provide age appropriate recreational, creative and educational opportunities based on and responsive to the abilities, strengths, needs, interests and former life style of the resident. Residents are also encouraged to remain active in any clubs or activities with which they were previously associated.

We would like to remind all family members and visitors that the FJ Davey home is a scent free environment. The gift of flowers is a beautiful gesture but unfortunately cases many health issues amongst our residents and staff. Items like non-flower plants is a preferred alternative. Your support in ensuring a scent free environment is appreciated.
