This 2-storey building, northwest of downtown Duncan, was built in 2000. As one of 41 seniors residences owned and operated by Park Place Seniors Living, it follows Park Place resident centered care philosophy which promotes individualized care for each resident.
In addition to private rooms and dining/activity spaces, it has a secure front courtyard with water feature, walking path, and seating for socialization.
There are large dining rooms on each floor which double as recreation halls, and social nooks equipped with couches. There is also a smaller activity room on each floor which includes a kitchen. Books are available to the residents and there is an on-site organ that some residents enjoy playing. MP3 players allow residents to enjoy their choice of music. There is also an outside deck in addition to the enclosed garden. The on-site hair salon operates three days a week.
Cerwydden is located on a quiet residential area with a hospital close by.
Cerwydden Care welcomes all languages, cultures and religions.
Cerwydden believes in resident centered care giving our residents a “Voice and Choice” in all their care needs.
Model of Medical Care/Physician Organization
Residents at this facility will usually be followed by their current physician, provided that they are able to provide ongoing care. If the resident cannot be followed by their community physician (or if they do not have one), the facility will help facilitate the finding of a new physician.
Beds in single occupancy rooms: 44
Beds in double occupancy rooms: 12
