Seniors
Helping seniors live life to the fullest
WJS Canada provides seniors, including those with developmental disabilities and early onset dementia, with a sense of security and engagement in the community; whether in their own home or in one of our comfortable facilities. We provide individualized services that focus on each person’s unique strengths and qualities while providing therapeutic recreation and social activities to maintain skills and mobility.
How We Can Help
We can help seniors remain in their home by providing a range of in-home support services from personal care to transportation to complex health care monitoring.
We also provide group care with customized programs and services to help each individual adapt to the transition and settle in to a stable, friendly community with many enjoyable social, senior-focused activities.
Our day programs, like the Choices Senior Program in British Columbia, provide seniors with opportunities to stay active and make new friends. Activities include senior swimming lessons, bingo, crafts, cooking, coffee outings and much, much more.
WJS helps seniors thrive through a variety of programs and services, including:
- Aging in Place (Home Care)
- Group Homes/Community Living
- Senior Day Programs
- Creative, Recreational and Social Activities
- Behavioral and Mental Health Support

"A lot of the time people tend to pity someone with disabilities but it’s not pity that they need. They need to be treated for who they are, with respect."

"I think it’s so important we create a place where kids feel safe to grow, to find out who they are, and be able to take that into the world as adults."
