The Magic of Miramichi 
May 1, 2025
An Age Friendly Community
Miramichi, N.B. has a long history of support for community. Inspired by programs and services established years ago, Shannex Miramichi now offers a range of community support for older adults that extends far beyond traditional care.
Taking a page from the World Health Organization’s Age Friendly Cities Framework, Shannex communities and programs in Miramichi provide interconnected service and care that helps older adults in the community age with dignity as they continue to thrive, grow and stay connected to others.
Miramichi Outreach Services
Outreach Services help older adults and those with disabilities in the Miramichi area to live in their own home with services and support in place.
Adult Day Program
Daily programming onsite at Losier Hall, including care and services to help older adults and those with disabilities remain as independent as possible in the community.
Meals On Wheels
Affordable, fresh, nutritious meals delivered daily by friendly volunteers.
Lifeline
An at-home medical alert system providing peace of mind for older adults living in the community.
Heart of the Community
Losier Hall and Bridgeview Hall are two licensed long term care homes in Miramichi. Together with Parkland on the River, these communities provide a continuum of living options for older adults in the community to choose from. Whether you’re looking to downsize for convenience, need a little extra support or full care from a team of health professionals, Miramichiers have options to stay in their community and have their needs met.
The luck of the Irish was felt this St. Patrick’s Day at Parkland on the River, where residents sang, toasted, and celebrated with friends. A favourite monthly event is a breakfast for Losier Hall residents hosted by the Recreation Team. A tasty, nutritious meal is served with a side of hospitality and warmth as friends and fellow residents start the day right.
Nursing Home Without Walls
The Nursing Home Without Walls (NHWW) program is a vital initiative helping older adults living in the greater Miramichi area, ensuring they can age in place with dignity. The program provides support to a wide community network of more than 145 clients in the Miramichi area. Services include service navigation, assistance with government programs, in-home visits, telephone check-ins, and advocacy.
Showing up in the Community
The Miramichi team is proud of their community and their support extends far beyond the walls of their workplace. Recently, Team Shannex Miramichi, a group of Great People from Bridgeview Hall and Losier Hall took to the streets in the Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk. Their efforts raised an impressive $2,420 to support Miramichi Housing Solutions Inc., a non-profit organization providing temporary housing for those in crisis.
