Let's take a virtual tour of Alexander McDonald Lodge in Dawson City. 

This long-term care home features 15 residential beds including two respite beds.
    
Staff offer residents light to moderate assistance with daily tasks, along with continuous monitoring and professional care.
    
The lodge is also the headquarters for local home care nursing and home support services.

Guided by head cook Vera, this video offers a glimpse into life at the lodge. 

You’ll see residents enjoying bowling, a concert, and a community tea, along with the spaces that make the lodge feel like home, from common areas and activity rooms to the garden, dining spaces, and resident rooms.

The video also shines a light on the amazing work Continuing Care staff do every day. 

This includes nursing home attendants, recreation therapy assistants, cooks and nurses who together create a warm, supportive environment for residents.
