MacLeod Group CEO Ramsay Duff says taking over South Shore Villa and Clinton View Lodge Jan. 1 has been a good fit.
“Oh we love them,’’ he said of the facilities.
“The people are fantastic…It’s a very closely integrated community and that makes it a lot easier to be an operator.’’
Founded in 1981, the MacLeod Group has grown to seven long-term care nursing homes and three assisted and retirement living communities in Nova Scotia employing more than 1,000 people.
The Prince Edward Island acquisitions are the first for the company outside Nova Scotia.
“Our company is growing,’’ notes Duff.
“We are trying to grow inside Atlantic Canada. We’d like to double in size over the next five years.’’
There are roughly 110 residents between the two P.E.I. facilities.
South Shore Villa, which opened in 1991, offers independent living, community care, nursing care and respite care.
Clinton View Lodge has been operating as a nursing home for about 40 years.
MacLeod Group is divided into three going concerns: MacLeod Care focuses mainly on nursing care and community care; MacLeod Living does home and health care services; MacLeod House does independent living.
South Shore Villa and Clinton View Lodge fall under MacLeod Care.
Duff greeted business, government and community leaders Friday in Charlottetown, offering a short presentation on the MacLeod Group.
He says the purpose of the gathering was to help build relationships and partnerships towards the company’s provision of services.
“We like being in small communities where we can be integrated very closely with our employees, other health-care providers, often times providing other services outside of the home,’’ says Duff.
“We take great care to be patient and quality investors,’’ he adds.
“What perhaps gives us a bit of an advantage over others is we actually like to do business in small communities – and that’s not for everybody.’’
