Kiknu, meaning “our home” in Mi’kmaq, will be Nova Scotia’s first long term care home on a First Nation community. A residents-first approach to care and service will ensure Kiknu is supporting independence, promoting dignity and placing value on the choices for how elders want to live their lives.
Shannex will act as the operating partner alongside the First Nations community of Eskasoni in the operation of this new home. Together, we will ensure the community delivers exceptional service and care while honouring Mi’kmaw culture, values and traditions.
We are searching for an Continuing Care Assistant to join our Kiknu team based in Eskasoni, Nova Scotia.
