History of Jarlette Health Services

In 1970 Alex and Roberta "Bobbie" Jarlette purchased a long-term care facility and moved their young family to Midland, Ontario. The conscientious young couple, having always set high standards for themselves, concentrated their efforts on the long-term care facility to meet their vision and values. Alex and Bobbie then began a journey that continued over 30 years. It was and still is, important to the Jarlette Family that they provide compassionate, family oriented care in a warm and inviting atmosphere.

This compassionate approach and obvious pursuit of excellence impressed the members of their new community. Their small facility steadily attracted more and more residents until expansion was inevitable. They have never looked back, yet have never forgotten their vision and have continued to make an outstanding difference in the lives of others.

Bobbie and Alex's children have grown, with families of their own, now also work with them to uphold the model their parents set in caring for the elderly. Together, with over 1600 employees, they implement this attentive and compassionate standard, caring for over 1600 residents at their 14 long-term care homes and 6 retirement lodges.

At Jarlette Health Services we continue to proactively strive to make an outstanding difference in the lives of our residents, their families and the communities that surround us.
