Long Term Care Careers

As our population ages, the demand for long-term care services is growing, creating a number of fulfilling career opportunities in this specialized healthcare sector. Grey County operates three long-term care homes: Grey Gables in Markdale, Lee Manor in Owen Sound, and Rockwood Terrace in Durham.  

Our homes embrace our 'Colour It Your Way' philosophy and provide exceptional person-centred care.  If you are looking for a rewarding career that makes a difference in the lives of the elderly and those living with serious chronic conditions, why not consider a career in long-term care?
