Do you have a passion for making a difference?

At Cardinal Creek Residence, we live by our motto: “Making Every Moment Matter.” We are seeking a dedicated Medical Director who shares our values—someone with a robust moral compass, a commitment to teamwork, and a genuine passion for improving the lives of our residents.

Making every moment matter means enhancing all aspects of life that bring joy: helping residents feel better, fostering connections, introducing new experiences, or simply giving them something to look forward to.

The Ministry of Health funds a standard administrative stipend to LTC facilities to secure Medical Directors, which is typically passed on to the physician.

At Cardinal Creek Residence, we provide compassionate, resident-centered care, guided by our PEOPLE philosophy:

Participation ~ Excellence ~ Openness ~ Performance ~ Longevity ~ Efficient Use of Resources

Our commitment is evident in every level of our home, creating a sense of community, comfort, and connection the moment you walk through our doors.
