The Grey Sisters of the Immaculate Conception founded Marianhill Home for the Aged in Pembroke Ontario in 1954. Since its inception, Marianhill has aimed at providing quality care for all residents. A dignified and loving response to the elderly has its roots in the very early history of the Grey Sisters’ community, for Saint Marguerite D'Youville was herself joyfully dedicated to ministering to the aged. This tradition for loving respect remains today as the vital foundation of our efforts.

Over the last forty years, Marianhill has evolved into a 200-bed facility, offering long term and chronic care, including a palliative care unit and the Dr. L.U. McCluskey Centre, which provides specialized services for individuals suffering from dementing illness. Extensive community outreach programs include Assisted Living, respite beds at Marianhill, as well as Adult Day programs, which operate in Pembroke, Killaloe and Barry's Bay. Marianhill also operates M.A.T.C.H., the Marianhill Action Team for Care giving in the Home. As well, Marianhill serves the community with the Marianhill Kiwanis Audiology Clinic.

Marianhill operates under the Charitable Institutions Act, Home for the Aged and Rest Homes Act, Nursing Homes Act, Public Hospital Act, and the Long Term Care Act.

The Board of Directors and staff members strive to follow the example of Saint Marguerite d’Youville by offering compassionate care within Marianhill and the community. We are guided by our Mission Statement, our Values and our Strategic Plan.
