About York Care Centre

Each day at this Fredericton community is shaped by a genuine commitment to dignity, individuality, and belonging. York Care Centre, located at 100 Sunset Drive in Fredericton, New Brunswick, has built a well-earned reputation as one of the region’s most trusted destinations for older adults and their families. Whether someone is looking to maintain an active, independent lifestyle or requires more comprehensive daily support, this not-for-profit community brings together a dedicated team of professionals focused on enriching the lives of every person in their care. Recognized with multiple awards in 2025 and 2026, including the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce Not-for-Profit Organization Award and the NBANH Resident-Centred-Home Award, York Care Centre stands as a place where excellence is not just a goal but a demonstrated standard.

Living Options & Care Levels

York Care Centre offers three distinct levels of care, allowing residents and families to find the right fit based on current needs while knowing that additional support is available if circumstances change over time. Independent Living at York Care Centre is designed for older adults who are largely self-sufficient but want the reassurance of a supportive community around them. Residents in this setting can enjoy their own routines and privacy while benefiting from the amenities, social connections, and peace of mind that come with living in a well-staffed environment. Long-Term Care is available for individuals who require ongoing assistance with daily activities and personal care. This level of support is suited to those who can no longer safely manage at home and need consistent, professional care delivered in a respectful and nurturing setting. Skilled Nursing care is also provided on site, offering a higher level of medical attention for residents with more complex health needs. This ensures that those dealing with significant health challenges or recovering from illness or injury have access to trained nursing professionals as part of their everyday care team. Together, these three options reflect York Care Centre’s commitment to meeting residents wherever they are in their journey, with the right level of support at every stage.

What You’ll Love About Living Here

Spiritual well-being is treated as a meaningful part of life at York Care Centre, and worship services are available to residents who wish to participate. For many older adults, the opportunity to observe their faith and connect with others through shared spiritual practice is an important part of feeling at home. Having this woven into the rhythm of community life means residents do not have to look far to find that sense of connection and comfort. Beyond the spiritual dimension, the overall approach at York Care Centre is built around the idea that each person’s day should reflect their own preferences, values, and needs rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. The team here takes an individualized approach, meaning that care plans and daily life are shaped around each resident rather than the other way around.

Why Residents Choose York Care Centre

Families searching for long-term care want more than a place for their loved one to stay. They want confidence that the people providing care genuinely understand and respect the person in their charge. At York Care Centre, that confidence is supported by a long track record of recognized excellence, a person-centred model of care, and a professional team that includes award-winning nursing leadership. Jamie Roy, Vice President of Care Services and Quality, was honoured with the 2026 Josée Gagné Beaulieu Memorial Excellence in Nursing Award, a reflection of the calibre of leadership guiding care at this community. The facility also extends its reach beyond its walls through programs like the Nursing Home Without Walls initiative, which supports older adults who are still living at home, and the Adult Day Program, which offers structured, welcoming programming for individuals living with dementia or facing social isolation. These programs speak to a broader mission rooted in community and continuity of care. Families can feel reassured knowing that York Care Centre is not simply focused on what happens inside the building but is genuinely invested in the well-being of older adults across the region. That consistency and sense of purpose give residents and families good reason to feel confident in their decision for the long term.
