Centre features
Indoors
Tall Pines is a new generation long-term care centre featuring large rooms and hallways, recreational rooms and spas.
Memory boxes
Tall Pines residents have individual maple and glass memory boxes located outside their bedrooms. We encourage residents to display their memorable items such as photographs and souvenirs in the box.
Home areas
Tall Pines features six home areas, each with its own comfortable and secure dining and recreational space. There’s also plenty of room for personal items in Tall Pines’ spacious bedrooms.
Outdoors
Garden courtyards
Tall Pines’ two fully enclosed garden courtyards — Sunnylea and Flowertown — can be seen from inside and are easy to get to from the resident home areas on the first floor.
Both courtyards promote nature, use of the outdoors and horticultural therapy. Their therapeutic gardens and wandering paths offer residents and visitors the opportunity to relax and enjoy the outdoors during the warmer months.
Enclosed gardens
Each resident home area at Tall Pines has an attractive view of an enclosed garden. Home areas on the ground floor have a solarium with direct access to the courtyard, while residents living on the second and third floors enjoy relaxing on a large outdoor terrace.
Community partnerships
Chinguacousy Garden Club
Tall Pines is well-known in the community through its established partnership with the Chinguacousy Garden Club.
Volunteers from the Chinguacousy Garden Club visit the centre every month to engage residents in a variety of stimulating activities such as working hands-on in the gardens and making dried flower arrangements.
Tall Pines, in partnership with the City of Brampton, participates in the national Communities in Bloom competition every year.
Other partnerships
Tall Pines has also partnered with other local organizations such as the St. John’s Ambulance Therapy Dog program, Girl Guides, Optimist Club, choir, dance and children groups and many local entertainers.
History
Tall Pines was built on land that originally belonged to the Mississauga Native Peoples. It was sold to the Crown in the early 1800s. The original land in the Township was known for its tall pines, which were cleared to develop farmland.
About Administrator Wendy Beattie
With a long-standing career at the Region of Peel, Wendy Beattie brings immense experience, perspective and dedication to her role as the Administrator of Tall Pines Long Term Care Centre.
Wendy began her service with the Region in 1982 as a Registered Nurse in one of our long-term care centres. Over the course of the years, she added the titles of supervisor of care, director of care and facility services supervisor to her list of credentials.
In 1999, Wendy first stepped into the role of Administrator at the Davis Centre. In 2004, when Malton Village opened its doors, Wendy became the centre’s first Administrator, overseeing the recruitment of staff and the development of programs and services for the residents and Adult Day Service participants, in addition to taking the centre through its first accreditation.
Wendy rounds out her experience with academic courses and training opportunities and has published papers in the field of long-term care. Wendy was appointed Administrator of Tall Pines in August 2011.
This dedication to personal and professional growth is mirrored in Wendy’s continued efforts to improve our centres for staff, residents and program participants. Among her contributions is the development of the first Cultural Diversity Handbook for Long Term Care staff which was recognized as a national leading practice by The Canadian Council Health Services Accreditation (CCHSA).
In 2008, Wendy led the development of a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program for our five long-term care centres, to ensure our employees can be active players in making our centres a better place to work and live.
