Our Staff
Our employees come from diverse backgrounds, and all bring different skills and experience to their work. Everyone is committed to being part of our team and everyone takes a pride in delivering excellence in all that they do.
Management Team
Works together to make sure that our mission is fulfilled, that operations flow smoothly, and that standards are high.
Recreation Department
Offers residents the chance to engage in a wide range of physical, cognitive, social, and spiritual activities, events, and trips. Under the guidance of a Recreation Therapist, this department maintains a consistent high quality of programming and the level of resident participation is high.
Housekeeping Team
Ensures that residents’ apartments are maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. They are also critical partners in helping to maintain the high standard of maintenance across campus.
Food Services Team
Delivers quality, home-cooked meals and a menu that residents enjoy. Most of the menu items are made from scratch, with little processed foods allowed in the kitchen. The Chef meets regularly with a food services consultation team made up of residents. Our chefs are Red Seal certified and a minimum of Food Safe Level One qualification is required for all food service staff.
Administration Team
Works to ensure that daily operations, finances, waiting lists and office/on-site consumables are in good order. They are the first point of contact with the organization and manage the reception area, telephones, enquiries and give tours for prospective residents and their families. Because they are based at reception, the team members often find that they are the hub of activity at Dawson Heights and they always know what’s going on.
Environmental Services Team
Ensures that the buildings and grounds are in good order and that we fulfil our mission of having a physically safe environment for everyone in our community. This team manages relationships with many regular contractors and servicers who take care of various aspects of the Dawson Heights campus.
