Everyday life at the senior centre is joyful and full of colour. Good care at the end of life is important to us.

Our senior centre includes a service centre, two day activity units and 18 group homes where we provide 24-hour housing.

We offer long-term 24-hour housing for people with memory disorders and mental illnesses and residents with decreased physical functional ability.

The rehabilitation and assessment services are short-term care that we also offer to people with memory disorders.

We offer day activities for people with memory disorders living in their homes and elderly people with decreased physical functional ability.
