Extendicare Vista Park Lodge

How we help enrich lives

If we are going to help our residents live better, then it is our responsibility to offer them every opportunity to be actively engaged and involved. At Extendicare Vista Park Lodge, we provide social and recreational services seven days a week - including holidays. These services are designed to meet the physical, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual needs of our residents. All activities are developed, organized and led by qualified staff and we offer both group and individualized services to meet residents’ unique needs and circumstances. Examples of our recreational services and activities include:

  • Peaceful Setting: Located in the south end of Winnipeg, our home enjoys an excellent reputation for quality care in our community. Our residents especially enjoy our easily accessible and beautiful backyard and courtyard that features picnic tables, walking paths, barbeques and peaceful tranquility.
  • Music Activities: We have many other music activities that focus on reminiscing including choir practice, sing-alongs and playing instruments.

  • Baking & Cooking Group: Our Baking & Cooking Group meets once a week and other residents and staff are always ready to enjoy the tasty finished results.
  • Intergenerational Program: We have a monthly Intergenerational Program that brings elementary school children into our home to spend time and do activities with our residents.
  • Live Entertainment: We have regular live entertainment featuring a variety of different performers from the community.
