Building a Better Future for Our Residents
Introducing Lodge 2027: A New Era for Passamaquoddy Lodge
Join us in transforming our nursing home with the Lodge 2027 project, a major reconstruction initiative designed to enhance the quality of life for our residents.
New Lodge Project Underway!
We’re excited to announce the launch of our project, Lodge 2027, to build a replacement home for the Passamaquoddy Lodge in the age-friendly community of Saint Andrews. Located on the Bar Road at Champlain, on land donated by the Town, the new lodge will replace the current home with innovative design and programming to provide the community, our residents, and our staff with the next generation of care: aging in community, aging in place, aging in care.
About Lodge 2027
Revolutionizing Senior Care at Passamaquoddy Lodge
The Lodge 2027 project represents a significant investment in the future of Passamaquoddy Lodge. This major reconstruction effort aims to modernize our facilities, providing a state-of-the-art environment that meets the evolving needs of our residents. With improved amenities, expanded services, and a focus on community integration, Lodge 2027 is set to redefine senior care in St. Andrews By-the-Sea.
The Care Model
Our care model is based on the belief that everyone has the right to age with dignity, where residents and others enjoy excellent quality of life, quality care and strong engagement between residents and staff. Our new, pandemic-responsive facility will provide each resident with an individual room and bathroom, in homes of 12 residents, and offer programs and services for local residents who want to, and can, continue to live at home, as well as for informal caregivers.

Project Progress
21 March 2024
Passamaquoddy Lodge’s Board has been working for more than five years on replacing their facility in the Saint Andrews region and now it can move forward to the next step.
The province in a letter has given support to the board to begin securing funds before formal per-diem negotiations begin.
“Government understands that many aging facilities need upgrades, and we are always interested in meeting with owner-operators to discuss how we can support them in that goal,” said Minister of Social Development, Jill Green
“The Department of Social Development is pleased to continue working with Passamaquoddy Lodge, and once funding is secured, to begin negotiations to develop a costing model for a renewed Passamaquoddy Lodge and Community Care Complex.”

Replace or Renovate
After a consultant, EXP, investigated possible renovation and expansion plans, the Department of Social Development (DSD) advised against renovation and recommended a new facility be built. A consultant on serving older adults, Silvermark, was hired to recommend a new servce model.

We investigated a US care model called the Green House Project which focuses on smaller individual homes rather than an institutional (hospital-like) model that currently exists.

Design and Estimates
PLI received schematic designs and cost estimates from consultants Murdock and Boyd Architects and Iron Maple Constructors.
