Our History...

Since 1978 the Kaithavelil family has been caring for the Elders in our community. Trinity Manor is currently owned and operated by the second generation of Kaithavelil family members, Sherly and George Narikuzhy. Through the years, this family has stood behind the idea that Elders are a valuable asset to our community and have made each Elder that came through their doors a part of their family.

Trinity Manor (60 beds) is opening in March 2008. Formerly this facility was known as Westbury Private Nursing Home (30 beds). It took 5 years to complete the construction from the initial planning stage in August 2003.

 

Understanding that loneliness, helplessness, and boredom contribute to the bulk of suffering in long-term care institutions, we have started on a journey. This journey is based on the philosophy of care that transforms traditional "nursing homes" into living, growing, ever-changing environments for our Elders.

 

The culture change focuses on giving care in a vibrant habitat full of life-enriching opportunities rather than providing "treatment" in an institutional setting. This is done by incorporating plants, animals, and children into daily life.
These changes can not happen overnight or without the support from our staff, families, and community. Community education and support are key factors that will enable us to make the journey successful.
 

We believe the future of our Elders belongs to forward-thinking, progressive people who are ready and able to accept the challenge of reshaping society's approach to long-term care. With the support of our families and the community, it is our hope that we can inspire other long-term care facilities to follow our path, proving that life in aged care facilities can
be different!
This Alternative offers opportunities that are endless and benefits that are immense.
