Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home
The Duncan MacMillan Nursing Home (DMNH) was a 25-bed nursing home in Sheet Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was built in 1948 as the Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital, and was repurposed into a nursing home after a new wing, which would become the Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital, was built in 1983. It was replaced by Harbourview Lodge in 2010, and was demolished.
History
DMNH was named after a local well-known doctor, Dr. Duncan MacMillan. The building that was used as DMNH from 1983–2010 was originally built in 1948, and used as Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital. It was converted into a Nursing Home in 1983 after a new wing was built and made into the Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital.[1]
In December 2005, negotiations between DMNH and the union representing DMNH staff broke down, leading to the threat of a strike over the Christmas holiday.[2] A negotiated agreement was reached in early January 2006.[3]
The Nova Scotia Department of Health announced plans in 2007 to build a replacement nursing home for Sheet Harbour in 2010.[4][1]
