St.
Michael's is a 210-bed continuing care centre using innovative planning
principles. The centre is conceptually organized as a "home,"
"neighbourhood" and "community." The home is the
fundamental unit in any community; at St. Michael's, the homes consist
of eight to 12 occupant rooms in a residential-style environment supporting
all aspects of daily living including an active social life.
