The Gray House Guild (GHG) is a voluntary, non-profit, non-denominational society which owns and operates the Allen Gray Continuing Care Centre (AGCCC). The GHG has a storied history which began in 1952 and whose members had a passion to help those in the community in need of health services.
In 1963 they established the Allen Gray Auxiliary Hospital with 50 beds in the Avonmore neighbourhood. In 2002, a new long term care centre was opened up in Mill Woods with a unique design which now has 156 beds, 17 lodge suites, an Adult Day support Program, and a Child Development Centre.

One of the roles of The Guild is to raise funds for the provision of equipment and enhanced programs for the comfort of the residents. Members also advocate for improvements in long term care.

Guild members hold a casino every two years, biennial fairs with vendors, operate a Gift shop, support the Centre Art Gallery and Beth Aylen library and assist with other fund raising activities as needed. The Guild also accepts funds through donations.
Members have a chance to make a difference in the lives of our residents as well as build meaningful relationships. Members also serve on the AGCCC Board of Management along with community members who oversee the operations of the facility. Being a member of the GHG is a rewarding experience.
In 2004 The new Continuing Care Centre located in Millwoods was named after the first Guild President, Bess Winspear.
