The Rotary Club of Westmount, Westmount’s only service Club, created Manoir Westmount in 1979 as part of its tradition of serving. Thanks to the efforts of Rotarians and the generosity of donors, the building’s capital costs have been provided for, so monthly fees are all inclusive and surprisingly affordable. They include private accommodation, daily housekeeping, personal laundry, meals, snacks and recreation. There is a professional health care person on duty 24 hours a day for emergencies and consultation. If necessary, medications may be managed.
Each floor has a cosy lounge with colour TV and kitchenette where snacks are available to residents at all times. There is a games and billiards room, a library with computers and Internet access, and and on- site beauty parlour. There are also mobile boutiques, a small shop, a seamstress and foot care services. For those residents who are still driving, indoor parking is available.
Manoir Westmount employs a qualified full-time Leisure Supervisor who with the help of part-time staff and volunteers provide a wide range of activities. Some of the more popular activities include Bingo, exercises, word games, movies, lectures, outings, and concerts. Also very popular is the handicrafts group which meets weekly throughout the year. Their efforts culminate with a bazaar in November. Ecumenical services are held at The Manoir on a weekly basis and social functions are held in conjunction with major holidays.
