The Dutch House is located on Fifth Street East, close to the Cornwall Community Hospital.  The home has been newly renovated, and offers privacy and independence for those who relish having the safety and security of a small family-like home atmosphere.  

All 6 bedrooms have television outlets, telephone and a comfortable therapeutic double bed providing a good nights’ sleep. There is a library and sitting room on the upper level for reading, relaxing or kicking back and watching television, playing cards and games. Off the sitting room is an upper balcony which overlooks a beautiful, peaceful garden.  A kitchenette, open 24 hours, is also located on the second floor for snacks and beverages. Personal laundry facilities are provided. Laundry will be done by the Dutch House staff, however clients wishing to do their own laundry are free to do so.

The Dutch House features a main floor living room for visiting with family, and will gladly provide meals for visiting family members (additional fee will apply).  There is also a large parking lot making it convenient for visitors.  

Home cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared and served in the large kitchen.  Bathrooms and sitting areas are cleaned daily, while all rooms are dusted and cleaned weekly.

“The Dutch House provides the opportunity for residents to thrive as they age and maintain their independence for as long as possible,” said Candy Pollard, Business Consultant with the Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre.  “For those who need just a little assistance and support on a regular basis, or who are uncomfortable living on their own, this is a perfect option.  We commend the Mesman’s for their efforts.”
