About Shalom Manor

Shalom Manor and Gardens is a Christian senior care home rooted in the Dutch Reformed tradition. Since 1969, we've served the community with compassion, providing long-term care to 144 seniors and assisted living to 36 residents. In 2024, we proudly celebrated our 45th anniversary. Founded by the Christian Reformed Classis' of Niagara and Hamilton, we continue to offer food, activities, and spiritual care grounded in Dutch Reformed values.

In 2023, we began building a new 260-bed, $150 million campus in Hamilton—set to transform elder care with person-centred innovation and biblical care. Thanks to past support, we've enhanced our courtyards and refurbished our oldest units.


This year, your participation in The Grand Parade will help us raise funds for a wheelchair accessible bus—giving residents greater mobility and access to the community. Join us. Walk with purpose. Make a difference.
