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.”
