A Personal Touch

Emily Dewar joined Shannex as a Registered Nurse at Arborstone Enhanced Care in 2012. She quickly moved through various roles within the organization, including Community Manager and Director of Care. Today, she has the exciting challenge of being General Manager at Moody Hall, our newest licensed long term care community located in Bedford, N.S.

What sets Emily apart is her commitment to fostering a positive workplace culture. She believes in teamwork and open communication, creating an environment where both team members and residents can thrive. Emily prioritizes building personal connections with residents, knowing them by name, and building a community where team members feel valued and supported.

Moody Hall began welcoming residents in November. In total, this community will be home to 144 residents. Seventy-two have now moved in and another 72 will arrive in spring 2025. An exciting feature of Moody Hall is its Main Street concept – the first time we have added this feature to a nursing home in Nova Scotia. This open and charming space encourages independence, community spirit and connection.
