Small Care Homes
Age-inclusive communities where older adults can thrive with autonomy, purpose and belonging.
Empowering Canadians to age in place
Small Care Homes offer a personalized alternative to traditional long-term care facilities, combining a compassionate care approach with the comfort of residential homes and neighbourhoods.
Why Small Care Homes
An innovative model of care, driving better outcomes and quality of life. Built to feel like residential homes – with communal living, less institutional features, and a yard – this environment fosters community while addressing holistic care needs.
Meet Exquisicare
In 2023, we acquired ExquisiCare to expand their residential care model. Focused on quality of life – through person-centered care and a homey environment – we empower aging Canadians to reach their potential for health and wellbeing.
