Rockwood Terrace
Rockwood Terrace is nestled within a quiet, residential neighbourhood and is cozy, traditional, warm and friendly. One hundred residents reside in private, semi-private and basic rooms.
Rockwood Terrace Redevelopment
Grey County is redeveloping Rockwood Terrace in Durham. A new home and larger home is under construction at a neighbouring property. Learn more and follow along with the project.
At Rockwood Terrace, we understand that each resident’s quality of life depends on an approach to care that combines resident and family members’ wishes with individual assessments from a team of trained caregivers. This approach ensures that support and care is tailored to meet the needs of each unique individual. Our staff includes registered nurses, registered practical nurses, personal support workers and therapy aides to help, support and care for our residents. An experienced administrative team supports all of our health care staff.
Residents are encouraged to bring small items such as bedspreads, pictures or knickknacks to personalize their rooms.
A home environment needs to be safe to feel secure. Rockwood Terrace has call bells at each bed, in each washroom and in all bathing spas. Our building is completely equipped with heat and smoke detectors.
