Residents with consent will be receiving their Covid boosters on June 3 rd . We encourage all visitors to be fully vaccinated and be vigilant with their hand washing. Masks are available in the dresser drawer in the lobby. Please Stay Home if you are feeling ill.

FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
We launched a new fundraising campaign in November, 2025 and still need donations to reach our goal!  Details are on our website.

ALLERGY ALERT
Please do not bring in any items with nuts, peanut butter or latex (balloons) due to allergies. Thank you! Also, please remember we are a fragrance free building.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING IN ANY TYPE OF MEDICATIONS
Please do not bring in any medications of any kind.

CANADIAN DENTAL CARE PLAN CARD
All families should apply for or renew their resident’s Canadian Dental Care Plan Card by calling 1-833-537-4342 or by looking up Canadian Dental Care Plan online. It’s a huge savings especially when dealing with the dental hygienist here at the lodge.
Information required when applying:
 Residents Full Name, Date of Birth, SIN number
 Home and mailing address: Passamaquoddy Lodge, 230 Sophia St., St. Andrews NB E5B 2C2

 List of dental coverage through government social programs (if applicable): likely none unless they have blue cross, etc.
 You and your spouse or common-law partner (if applicable) must have filed your tax return in Canada for the previous year and have received your notice of assessment.

CABLE TELEVISION SERVICE
The service charge for cable tv connection will increase to $40/month when the upgrade is completed. We are required to do the upgrade to
continue service but we will have voice activated remote controls and this will be easier for the residents to operate.

RESPECTFUL CONDUCT and COMMUNICATION
We want to encourage open communication with families, but we do ask that you keep your comments respectful to all of our staff. If you have a concern please remember to speak to a manager or Charge Nurse. Thank you for keeping this in mind.

RESIDENT CLOSETS/SEASONAL ITEMS
Please sort out seasonal items in your resident’s closet and dresser drawers. Please exchange/clean out items not in use or not needed at this time. Please make sure you leave all new items at reception or with the Care Staff to be labeled. Thank you!

VENTILATION PROJECT April – October 2026
We are pleased to advise we will be receiving a new ventilation system for the Lodge. Work began on May 25th and should be completed in the fall of 2026. You will notice a new route at the entrance – you will be directed through the front living room instead of using the main hallway during the course of construction. Our building permit is posted on our front entrance!
