Established
1977

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.

Accreditation

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.
