We are so grateful to you, our donors, for helping us provide compassionate, innovative support for seniors throughout Providence Health Care’s long-term and acute care sites.

It’s no secret that Canada’s population is rapidly aging, and with your help we are rising to the challenge. Because of you, we support over 27,000 seniors and older adults throughout the aging journey. Whether living in a long-term care residence, recovering from a stroke, experiencing cognitive change for the first time, or caring for a loved one, your gifts help Providence provide personalised, life-affirming care.

Today, more than one in three people over age 55 experiences some form of cognitive change. Whether patients are seeking support from a geriatrician or are new residents moving out of their home into long-term care – we are here for you. Your support is helping us shift to a new model of care that puts residents, patients, and their families at the centre. These changes are happening right now through our acute care sites and new dementia village, Providence Living at The Views in Comox, BC, opening in 2024. Thank you for sharing this journey with us.
