Together with our compassionate and dedicated employees, we are working towards our vision to change the world of senior living by creating vibrant communities of care that deliver clinical best practices, engaging programs and integrated services that meet seniors' changing needs.
Along with our owned and managed long-term care homes, in 2017 peopleCare opened Oakcrossing Retirement Home in London, Ontario. This beautiful facility is part of our innovative "community of care" model that supports couples, families and friends to live and age together by offering a range of services and housing options in one location.
Our exciting plans for the future involve new builds and expansion projects, including in many communities we already call home. We are also focused on sharing our leading-practice quality and operational systems with our partners in the health sector through our expert long-term care management consulting services.
peopleCare's innovation and industry leadership has earned Accreditation Canada – Exemplary Status, Canada's Best Managed Companies designation for the sixth straight year, North America's Most Engaged Workplaces Award, and an Innovation Award research grant from the Health Technology Fund.
