Welcome to Barnswallow Place
Barnswallow Place Care Community is situated in Elmira’s picturesque community just north of Waterloo. Located in the heart of Mennonite country, a horse and buggy can often be seen standing at the hitching post; and an enclosed courtyard offers residents and family members a great opportunity to enjoy the gardens.
Our care community name reflects the neighbourhood “Birdland,” where all the streets are named after birds. Opened in November 2000, Barnswallow Place is known for its homey, bright, and close-knit atmosphere, where we offers 96 residents a choice of private or shared accommodations, and a wide range of programs. Air-conditioning is available in common areas and all resident rooms. Our “Gentle Care” approach allows residents a flexible breakfast program, and a secure home area includes music therapy, Montessori programs, and a sensory room.
If you have a concern or complaint about the health, safety, or wellbeing of a person living in long term care, we encourage you to bring it to the attention of the care community and its manager. You may also contact the Ministry of Long-Term Care’s toll-free telephone number for making complaints at 1-866-434-0144, with the hours of operation: 8:30 a.m.-7:00 p.m., 7 days a week.
