Vision '74 celebrating 50 years in Sarnia

The owner and operator of Vision Nursing Home, Vision Rest Home, and The Wellington Flats is celebrating its golden anniversary on Saturday.

Vision '74 has planned a community celebration to mark 50 years of service.

"We are honoured to have served the Sarnia-Lambton community in this way and look forward to a bright future," said Board President Nell Vrolyk. "We are pleased to have a dedicated caring staff to support our diverse elderly and vulnerable population. Vision has been a forward thinking 'family' focusing on innovation and the needs of our community."

The celebration will be held from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Brock Street parking lot, with live music and a balloon artist on site.

The company was formed in 1974 by a group of men who were seeking a means to support Christian education in Sarnia-Lambton.

The group had Vision incorporated as a not-for-profit charity that year and obtained its first licence for a nursing home for 60 residents.

Since then, a rest home was added and two additions were made to the nursing home.

Vision '74 said the home now houses and cares for 218 residents and employs 325 people.
