"SAFE! One word that encompasses all aspects of Buchanan Lodge. The dictionary defines the word as ‘being free from harm or risk’. Buchanan Lodge represents our vision of living in a healthy, just society where all our needs are met. Considering everything happening in our world, SAFE at this top-notch facility is my biggest priority for my loved one. Thank-you!

Have peace of mind with our 24 hour staffing. We have reception and managers that are available during the day, as well as a night house staff available throughout the night.
We have emergency pull cords in bathrooms and at bedside for individual support. Video monitoring of all entrances and the parkade also ensure that residents are supported and safe.
