About Us
North Bay Lodge is a long-term residential home for independent adults living with mental health conditions or intellectual disabilities. Our residents include individuals with a range of diagnoses, such as Down syndrome, acquired brain injury, chronic depression, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
At North Bay Lodge, we provide the supervision, support, and sense of community needed for residents to thrive beyond institutional care. Our goal is to offer a safe and nurturing environment where each person can experience meaningful connection, independence, and stability within a comfortable “home away from home.”
Our Philosophy
At North Bay Lodge, we offer a caring, comfortable, and secure home where residents can enjoy a true “home away from home.” Our focus is on each resident’s physical and emotional well-being.
Through supervised care, we provide thoughtful support in a calm, low-stress environment where compassion, respect, and dignity are at the heart of everything we do. From medication administration to personalised activity schedules, our dedicated team ensures every resident feels valued and cared for.
Our house rules encourage a friendly, harmonious atmosphere that promotes emotional balance and a sense of belonging. Residents may stay with us for as long as they are comfortable and well, with guidance and support available should specialised care ever be needed.
