What we do

Perley Health is a community where over 600 Seniors and Veterans thrive – from independent living to long-term care. We support each resident with a person and family-centric approach to the continuum of care to improve not only their physical well-being but their mental and emotional health, too. 

Our commitment to empowering Seniors and Veterans to reach their full potential is a pledge without bounds. We actively invest in research and new methodologies in frailty-informed care and share our findings, best practices, and breakthroughs with the greater community – so we can help all seniors live life to the fullest. 

We know that good is never good enough. Our culture of self-improvement ensures that we’re always seeking a higher standard of excellence. Be it a daily quality improvement, safety standards or long-term planning; we prioritize excellence across every facet of our organization to benefit Seniors and Veterans. 

Perley Health Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care exists to set new benchmarks in seniors care, facilitating applied research that fuels innovation in education, best practices, and knowledge transfer.

Priorities

Applied Research and Innovation:

Perley Health Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care is ready to expand its research and develop evidence-based best practices. Innovations and knowledge developed will benefit the healthcare system, train professional caregivers, educate students and improve the quality of life for seniors living in long-term care. 

Education & Knowledge:

Through knowledge translation and partnerships, Perley Health will improve resident care at long-term care homes across the country by training bedside caregivers, promoting innovation to long-term care administrators and influencing government policies. 

Exceptional Care:

Sustaining and enhancing Seniors’ and Veterans’ care and investing in the people who provide care at Perley Health will help fuel innovation and, in the future, bring exceptional care to long-term care homes across Canada.
