Our History
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.
