The District Municipality of Muskoka has clarified that Fairvern will not be dropped from the Huntsville nursing home’s name.
In a statement this morning, July 4, 2022, it noted: “Although the Non-Profit’s legal corporate name has always been the Huntsville District Nursing Home, the Home has operated as Fairvern Nursing Home since it opened. The name “Fairvern” comes from the two lakes, Fairy Lake and Lake Vernon, that meet on the river where the Home is currently located. This name is very special to all who have been connected to the Home over the last 40 years. The Home will continue to operate as Fairvern as it joins the District and when it relocates in the future after redevelopment.”

I am pleased that they are not changing the name. My grandmother was there for a number of years.
Well, district can make some good decisions?
As long as Fairvern is not turned over to private business
where so many of our seniors died in the past two years.
Why is the staff being transferred to other positions?
They have made Fairvern the great place it is.
Politicians running a nursing home. Let us pray!
Thank you for explaining the name given to Huntsville’s nursing home on the Muskoka River. As I remember there was a significant competition held in town that resulted in Mrs. Marilyn Barrow as winner.
Very clever idea and appropriate!
