Our history

Comfort Life Network is a non-profit service network that was founded in 1969 to continue the work of the Sisters of Providence. A 204-bed long-term care home was built to replace the outdated Hospice in Shediac. Over the years, the field of long-term care has evolved substantially. In response to growing community demand, the builders of this network have become involved in long-term care at all levels. As a result, our corporate family has expanded exponentially in the delivery of services to seniors and other groups in need.

This home is now part of a corporate family that includes:
