Long-term care

Extendicare’s long-term care services are designed for people who can no longer be cared for at home or in assisted living. Our homes specialize in providing long-term care and a variety of innovative services and programs that help support the physical and emotional needs of an individual over an extended period of time, whether that is a period of months or even years.

Restorative care

Extendicare’s uses a coordinated approach to care which is integrated throughout all aspects of our home. This approach is intended to ensure that all residents, regardless of the length of time they stay with us, are able to maintain or improve their functional and cognitive capacities in all aspects of daily living to the extent of their own abilities.

Respite care

Very similar in nature to our short stay, respite care services are offered with the care-giver in mind. Often caregivers in the communities we serve are carrying the burden of care alone and it can be both exhausting and overwhelming. Our respite care services provide the caregiver a break so they can go on vacation or simply rest and recharge, all while feeling confident that their loved one is receiving top quality care and service while they take their much-needed break. Extendicare offers respite care services across Ontario with a total of 16 homes and 27 beds.

Dignity, compassion, and clinical expertise | High-quality end-of-life care delivery

Every resident and their family deserve compassionate and high-quality care at each step of their journey in long-term care.

To support those in our care as they enter or prepare for their final chapter in long-term care, our teams work with families to tailor individualized care plans for their loved ones, in what can be some of the most difficult times in their lives.

We provide enhanced palliative care training for interdisciplinary teams across each of our homes in partnership with Pallium Canada, Canada’s leading palliative care educators, to enable our team members to provide high-quality clinical, spiritual, and emotional palliative care supports for residents and their families.
