Who We Are

Who We Are / A Little History

Grace Village

A Special Home!

There is something special about Grace Village. You notice it as soon as you walk in - the warm and friendly environment where our residents enjoy a home that encourages interaction with the Grace Village community, their family and friends.

Grace Village offers accommodation for a broad spectrum of seniors' living needs:

  • Village Life: autonomous retirement living
  • Village Assist: assisted senior living
  • Village Nursing Care: regular and advanced nursing care for seniors with physical and / or medical support needs
  • Village Memory Care: specialized memory and dementia care for seniors with reduced cognitive abilities. 

Nestled in 60 acres in the borough of Lennoxville, City of Sherbrooke, residents and visitors at Grace Village can enjoy a beautiful natural environment, with our secure interior courtyard gardens and the impressive pine forest behind the Grace Village Care Pavilion. The interior of the Pavilion offers bright welcoming indoor lounges and large activity venues. 

Classified as a private seniors' residence and officially recognized as our seniors' actual residence for the purpose of home care services, Grace Village receives no government funding and was built entirely through donations by caring people from our surrounding commuities and several philanthropic organizations. 

Our Mission

GRACE VILLAGE is well known for excellence in care, personalized attention and hospitality. The main Care Pavilion facility currently houses 120 Assisted Living, Nursing Care and Memory Care rooms, with four adjacent semi-detached Independent Living units (bungalows).

Long-term, convalescent and respite care for our seniors is provided 24 / 7 by a team of dedicated RNs, LPNs and certified caregivers, with doctors regularly on-site and always on call.

A wide range of therapeutic services is available including physiotherapy, music therapy, massage and occupational therapy.  

Residents also enjoy a variety of events, entertainment and activity programming (exercise, crafts, games, social outings...), with a library, hair salon and a well-equipped workout room designed for seniors.

Our History

dr

In 1957, Dr W. J. Klinck and a group of visionary Townshippers saw the need for seniors' care in their community and decided to act. They opened Grace Christian Home, now known as Grace Village, and later Connaught Home to provide excellent, compassionate and loving seniors care. 

Grace Christian Home served primarily English-speaking seniors but has progressed over the years so that Grace Village is now a bilingual facility with many francophone residents, while maintaining a strong identity and focus on supporting the English population in the Eastern Townships.

Dr. Klinck and the founders established a care model with a commitment to excellence, a sense of family and loving support for those in need that continues to be the foundation of our service. Over the years, Grace Village has been dedicated to excellence in every aspect of care delivery by maintaining the highest levels in care standards and contemporary senior care methods. As a result Grace Village has become a teaching platform for a variety of local area post-secondary educational programs for Nursing, Licensed Practical Nursing, Certified Care Giving, Special Care Counselling, Psychology as well as research in geriatrics. Today, we continue to honour the vision and core values set forth by Dr. Klinck and our founders.
