Our History
Anson House
In 2004, St. Joseph’s at Fleming, a 200 bed, Catholic, not-for-profit long-term care home was officially formed. It was the result of a partnership between Marycrest Home for the Aged, Anson House, and Fleming College.
Marycrest
Both homes had a long and respected tradition in this community; boasting over 235 years of combined experience in providing quality long term care in Peterborough and the surrounding region. When a 1998 assessment determined that the old buildings would have to be rebuilt, Marycrest Home for the Aged and Anson House made the historic decision to amalgamate and invite Fleming College into a new and unique partnership.
1998 Assessment
The first long-term care facility built on the campus of a learning institution, St. Joseph’s at Fleming partnered with Fleming College to create an Institute for Healthy Aging (IHA).
The partnership with the College also provides practical experience for its students in the Nursing, Recreation, Social Work, and Information Technology Programs. The students are able to do some hands-on work with the Residents and their families to complement their academic studies.
