Ocean View Community

Ocean View is a community-governed organization in beautiful Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. It consists of the Continuing Care Centre (OVCCC) as well as many community-based programs and services, all of which are aimed at helping our seniors age well in the place they call home.

OVCCC has 176 long term care beds and 1 respite bed. It is licensed by the Department of Health under the Homes for Special Care Act and as an accredited health care facility we pride ourselves on the provision of high quality care. OVCCC has been part of the Eastern Passage community since 1967. Originally owned and operated by the Halifax County Municipality, Ocean View Continuing Care Centre Society was formed in 1999. OVCCC now operates as a not-for-profit society under the direction of a Board of Directors.

Ocean View Continuing Care Centre was the first Long Term Care facility in Nova Scotia to achieve Accreditation in 1974 and has maintained this standard of excellence ever since. By voluntarily participating in Accreditation Canada’s accreditation program we evaluate our performance against national standards of excellence. These standards examine all aspects of care, from safety and ethics, to staff training and partnering with the community. We devote time and resources to learn how to improve what we are doing so we can provide the best possible care and service to residents.
