Biographical history
Langholm was officially opened around 1944 in Langley as an home for the aged with preference given to Langley citizens. It was operated by the Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Township of Langley through its Utilities and Energies Committee with the Municipal Clerk designated manager. For many years, it appears a smaller group of individuals, in the form of the Langholm Committee, met to oversee Langholms operation .From the time of its inception in 1943, a Ladies Auxiliary was formed, first called the Langholm Ladies Auxiliary and later the Langholm Womens Auxiliary, which organized volunteers to support Langholm. The Auxiliary was in existence until Langholm closed. Around 1961, Langholm began to accept a significant proportion of patients from Provincial Mental Health (PMH) institutions. In 1964, it was decided that due to declining use by senior citizens, Langholm would focus on being a rehabilitative facility for persons transferred from PMH institutions. The Corporation of Langley closed Langholm on December 15, 1968. Langholm was sold to Floyd Elroy Cochrane and partners in 1969.
