“I am Richard Dulalia, from the Philippines, Living here in Canada for almost 2 years now with my wife Christina and my daughter Kara. I am nursing graduate back home but haven’t got the chance to practice nursing due to competition during those years. That is why I decided enter Hospitality Industry even though I don’t have any idea and background in it, my desire to have a job and help my family financially I took the risk. After working in a hotel for almost 2 years, fortunately I was given the chance to work in passenger cruise ship for 8 years who caters elderly and retired people. My wife and I saved money for preparation in pursuing our application here in Canada for us to be together for good, as we know that Canada is a land of great opportunities. I am the lucky ones to experience that, because Canada gives us the opportunity to go back to the field of nursing. Right now, through the help of Multi-Cultural Association of Sussex and Ms. Cassandra Folkins, I am currently working in Kiwanis Nursing Home as a resident attendant and planning to get my Canadian Nursing Degree for my family and to help the community as a way of giving back and be a good example to my daughter in chasing this career someday.”

Helping you meet capital project expectations
Colliers - Project Leaders
Building a new nursing home, or upgrading your current one, is usually a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Whether you want to increase resident capacity, improve your ability to serve complex resident needs, or introduce a new model of care, your project will generate great interest and expectations among staff, residents, their families and your surrounding community.
Meeting these expectations can be a challenge, especially if you don’t have the in-house resources or time required to oversee a major capital project. Our team can help with holistic advisory services, experienced project management and operational readiness expertise.
