The History of Carleton - Kirk Lodge/Complex/Church
The Complex and Lodge were conceived after members of the Carleton Kirk United and West Side Kirk formed one congregation and became known as Carleton-Kirk United Church.

The congregation discovered there was a great need for a senior citizen housing. As the result, a 76-unit apartment for low-income seniors was opened in 1975.

Nine years later the 70-bed nursing home was opened to continue the cycle of care, with the first residents arriving in early February. The official grand opening took place on June 8, 1985.
