Mission
Saint Vincent's Nursing Home is a private not-for-profit Home for the Aged founded by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Halifax.

We are dedicated to fostering a nurturing environment for residents, family, employees, physicians, volunteers, and students; one that recognizes their physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cultural needs. We respect the aging process and support our residents' right to make choices.

In keeping with this mission and the expressed needs of the community, promoting quality of life is the cornerstone of all care, services and programs.
