Unitarian House

In 1973, First Unitarian Congregation agreed to give top priority to an outreach programme that would culminate in the building and operation of a senior citizen's complex with graduated social and medical care affordable for senior and handicapped citizens of Ottawa Carleton.

In 1975 the house was incorporated. It took a decade of planning, acquiring additional property, and making applications to various governmental offices before sod was turned on March 27, 1983. The first residents moved in in the spring of 1984. Additions were made to the residence in 1986 and again in 1996, adding a wheelchair shower stall and whirlpool bath, and a recreation room and more assisted living units. In 1999 parking was added close to the front entrance while preserving the tall pines of a lightly forested area.

Unitarian House consists of 26 two bedroom apartments, 42 one bedroom apartments, and 52 assisted living units in single and double room suites. Six apartments have been designed to accommodate people in wheelchairs.

Unitarian House is a close knit community of seniors and staff with a full compliment of programmes. The house is filled with people of all religious backgrounds. It is located on the lovely campus of First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa right next to the Ottawa River.
