It was 1988 when Joseph Shannon purchased Breton Bay nursing home, sight unseen. A 264 bed nursing home, Breton Bay had many challenges and Mr. Shannon saw the opportunity to change the way people live in long term care. His deep commitment to quality of care and quality of service transformed Breton Bay and started the Shannon family on a path of improving lives for seniors. Our organization is built on the commitment to place clients first, to provide service excellence and to respect each client as an individual. Our organizational values, continue to define what Shannex stands for and creates the framework for all that we do. Still a family operated business today, Shannex is more than a place to live or work. We are a community of people and friendships where the focus is on living well in the place clients call home.
