Celebrating the Teams Behind a Comfortable Home at The Pines
At The Pines, creating a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for residents takes the dedication of many team members working behind the scenes every day. While residents may not always see the work being done, our Housekeeping, Laundry, and Maintenance Teams play a vital role in supporting quality of life, dignity, safety, and well-being throughout the Home.
Meet the Teams
🧹 Housekeeping Team
Our Housekeeping Team helps ensure that The Pines remains clean, comfortable, and inviting for residents, families, staff, and visitors. Their work goes far beyond routine cleaning. Housekeepers carefully maintain resident rooms, common areas, dining rooms, lounges, and other shared spaces while following strict infection prevention and control practices.
Their attention to detail helps create a healthy environment that supports resident comfort and safety every day.
👕 Laundry Team
The Laundry Team works diligently behind the scenes to ensure residents have clean clothing, bedding, and linens. From washing and drying to sorting, folding, and delivering items throughout the Home, they play an important role in supporting residents' dignity and comfort.
Whether it's a favourite sweater, freshly laundered bedding, or clean towels, the Laundry Team helps provide the comforts of home that residents rely on each day.

Did You Know?
Every day, thousands of pieces of laundry are processed, numerous cleaning and sanitation tasks are completed, and countless maintenance checks occur throughout the Home. These essential services help maintain the high standards of cleanliness, safety, and comfort expected in long-term care.
Housekeeping, Laundry, and Maintenance staff work closely with nursing, dietary, recreation, and administration teams to ensure residents receive the best possible care and support in a well-maintained environment.
Resident and Family Feedback Matters
We value feedback from residents and families regarding the cleanliness, comfort, and upkeep of the Home. Suggestions, compliments, and concerns help us continuously improve our services and ensure The Pines remains a place residents are proud to call home.
Residents and families are encouraged to share feedback through Resident Council meetings, Family Council, surveys, comment opportunities, and conversations with team members.
