Fernwood House

Fernwood House is situated in a quiet neighbourhood on Alexandra Avenue in Bridgewater. It is within walking distance to the mall, restaurants, duck pond, and other services. We have a total of seven clients — two male and five female. We have three shared bedrooms and one single bedroom. We are staffed twenty-four hours per day. The house has two living rooms both with TV’s and a recreation room upstairs that has a Ping-Pong table, treadmill, and a number of board games for all to enjoy. The clients have access to a computer with Wi-Fi on the main floor. We also have a number of outdoor activities such as ball hockey, chalk drawing, and soccer. The clients currently have a pet cat named Pepper.

Fernwood House is part of our network of Supported Community Living Options (S.C.L.O.) locations in Bridgewater. We are pleased to be part of this vibrant community and provide a beautiful place for clients to call home.

Each year, the clients pick a place where they would like to go for a summer vacation. In the past the have gone to places like Prince Edward Island, Annapolis Valley, and Cape Breton. The clients also go on numerous day trips throughout the year to parks, zoos, Ross Farm, beaches, dances, bowling, meals out, movies, and concerts, just to name a few.

“Fernwood House is a beautiful old house in Bridgewater, within walking distance to many areas within the town. Our daughter is very happy to call Fernwood House home. She has the freedom to walk to work, the mall, and to take part in many activities taking place around the town. The staff are great and treat the residents like family. As parents it is a comfort to know our loved one is well cared for.”
