What this means for your family
Scotia Village offers a vibrant, active lifestyle for independent seniors, but families should be cautious regarding the level of care for those who cannot advocate for themselves. We recommend scheduling a tour to specifically inspect the condition of the residential hallways and asking management for a detailed explanation of their medication administration oversight and staffing policies.
