Nova Scotia’s Bill 201: Extending Support for Youth Aging Out of Care
“Extending the age of support creates a safer and more supportive bridge into adulthood.”
A caring, welcoming environment is the hallmark of Pine Tree Park Care Home, a 29-bed (with one respite bed), Level One (Supportive Care), residential care facility providing personalized and professional care in a bright, comfortable setting for people with a variety of disabilities who are clients of the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services (DCS).
The quality of life of our residents is the driving factor of the dedication of Pine Tree Park Care Home staff
In partnership with the Nova Scotia Department of Community Services, the standard of care provided by Pine Tree Park Care Home has resulted in exceptionally high occupancy rates.
Every effort is made to plan for and attend to the physical, emotional, and social needs of the residents and to create a positive, family atmosphere
Our Family Council, made up of loved ones, friends, and administration, has recently been introduced through our Accreditation process. The Council meets three times a year to receive input, discuss past success and improvements, and to ensure that our clients receive the high-quality care they deserve.
Pine Tree Park Care Home was established in 1977 when a residential care home in Whitney Pier was facing closure. New Dawn Enterprises purchased the facility to ensure that residential care would continue to be available to the community.
In 1993, residents of the Guest Home were moved to a new building in Pine Tree Park, a decommissioned military base on the outskirts of Sydney. Originally designed to meet Level Two nursing-home specifications, Pine Tree Park Care Home enables its staff to provide optimum care to residents in a warm and attractive setting.
Pine Tree Park Care Home and New Dawn Homecare are proud to be accredited by Accreditation Canada, an independent, not-for-profit organization that sets national standards for safety and quality in healthcare and shares best practices worldwide.
During a three-day review of our services, policies, and procedures, Accreditation Canada found that:
New Dawn voluntarily undertakes the accreditation process every four years. This reflects our ongoing commitment to better care, safer clients, and stronger teamwork.
As a member of the non-profit New Dawn Enterprises family, all profits generated are reinvested back into our community to support programs such as New Dawn Meals on Wheels which delivers over 20,000 meals annually to those in need. Clients of New Dawn are indirectly supporting our community and for that, we thank you for choosing us!
A vibrant hub for children, youth, families, and the wider community

We are in Unama’ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the people of Mi’kma’ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy.
