Aging gracefully

A whole new approach to seniors care.

It’s hard to imagine anything more meaningful or rewarding than improving care for seniors.

That’s why Providence Health Care and Providence Living are pioneering a whole new model of care for older adults in acute care and for residents in long-term care. And it starts by asking seniors and their families what they want and what matters most. With this, we are changing everything.

  • We are bridging the gaps between home care, acute care, and specialized care.
  • We are supporting older adults to stay independent and live at home for as long as possible.
  • If the time comes for long-term care, we are welcoming residents into spaces that feel and function more like a real home.
  • We are safeguarding dignity and autonomy and honouring each person’s values, traditions, and interests.

And this is just the beginning. Looking ahead, we’re developing a bricks-and-mortar Centre for Healthy Aging on the campus of the new St. Paul’s Hospital. And we’re building Canada’s first public, non-profit care village (modelled after the “dementia village” concept) in Comox.

Providence is leading the charge in creating long-term care homes that genuinely look and feel like home. Together, with the help of generous donors like the Shinozaki family and the Aune Foundation, we are working toward a future where communities around the world will be empowered to provide care that puts residents first.

We have a vision, a mandate, and a 128-year history of compassionate care. All we need now is you. Join us and transform seniors’ lives.

“Adela’s care was out of this world. I could see – I could feel – what the care aides were doing for her and the other residents. They were always there no matter what we needed. They were like family.”
