The Collingwood Nursing Home encourages family and other personal celebrations. We will endeavour to provide a room for personal parties, such as Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries or private visits with advanced notice. The use of candles are restricted to certain areas due to fire safety hazards. There are smoke and heat detectors throughout the Nursing Home. If you are planning to use candles, or any device which may activate our fire alarm, please inform us prior to the event.
