About Halton Region’s Assisted Living Programs
The Assisted Living programs provide on-site support services to older adults who would like to continue living in their own homes but require assistance with personal care supports. The programs are available to individuals who live in designated buildings or neighbourhood areas (within close geographical proximity to the building). These programs are aimed at older adults with complex needs, and include 24- hour access to frequent, urgent and essential personal care supports.
“I am very pleased The Willow Foundation is expanding support to our Assisted Living Programs,” said Andrea Pohl, Director of Halton Region Services for Seniors.”
“Our clients will enjoy the added social programming and connectedness along with numerous health and education opportunities.”
The Willow Foundation’s funding portfolio provides a broad range of support and life enrichment programming such as music and art therapy, virtual reality technology and supplies for various crafts and special events. Funds are raised through public donations, sponsorships, grants, legacy giving and an annual sponsored golf tournament.
“The Foundation’s focus on enriching the lives of older adults demonstrates the positive difference achievable within our community,” concluded Andrea Pohl.
