We are searching for an Occupational Therapy Aide/ Physiotherapy Aide to join our new Moody Hall Enhanced Care team based in Bedford, Nova Scotia.
Phase 2 opening on April 17, Moody Hall will be home to 144 residents and will feature private suites and washrooms, ample natural light, wider hallways, and new equipment. The home is designed with six neighbourhoods for 24 residents. Every neighbourhood has dedicated nursing stations, dining rooms, living rooms, libraries, and activity spaces.
At Moody Hall, we have our innovative Main Street, a purposefully designed space that creates a charming, small-town atmosphere encouraging independence and community spirit among residents.
Main Street is a vibrant hub that includes a cozy café, a town hall, theatre, chapel, and schoolhouse.
The home is named after Dr. Harold Moody, a prominent humanitarian and civil rights activist. He spent time in the Bloomsbury area of London where he set up his own general practice after being denied from hospitals because of the colour of his skin. He also formed 'The League of Coloured People' with 70 other Central YMCA Club members (Bloomsbury) to support other people suffering racial discrimination.
Together, these features create an inviting, community-focused environment for social interaction and personal independence, making Moody Hall a unique and enriching place to call home.
