History

 

It started as a dream by members of the local Presbyterian Church back in the 1970’s - the creation of a facility to provide accommodation for older members of the community.

​

The passion and drive of those Church members and the local community led to funds being raised, land being purchased and in 1979 the initial 4 units being designed for construction.

​

​Our first resident moved into the Village in May 1983 with construction happening all around.

​

At the same time planning was well underway for the Community Centre that was officially opened in September 1984.

​

St. John's Village was taking shape.

​

Live-in managers were appointed, and by November of 1984 a Residents committee had been formed to co-ordinate activities and events.

​

​Additional land was acquired, and the Village continued to grow.

​

The St. John’s Community now boasts over 140 Independent Living Units, 20 Serviced Apartments and Resident facilities including our State-of-the-Art Activity Centre.

​

​St. John's Village came about through a dream of providing accommodation, with care, compassion and community and we strive to continue to be – “The Perfect Place to Live”.
