30 Years of Beneficial Impacts

This report documents many of the beneficial impacts that Perley Health has had during the last year on the lives of a growing number of people - not only residents, tenants and their families, but also staff, volunteers and donors. These impacts are the result of a talented, dedicated staff, and strong support from partners and the community, particularly from donors to the Perley Health Foundation. Thank you.

As we mark the 30th anniversary of our campus, I'm struck by how Perley Health continues to evolve and impact even greater numbers of people. Two current projects offer strong evidence of this. The Andrew Fleck Children's Services Intergenerational Early Learning Centre at Perley Health benefits not only parents (most of whom work at Perley Health) and children, but also the Veterans and Seniors who will participate in the Centre's programming. A second project involves expanding our campus to accommodate an additional 120 people in long-term care. Other examples appear throughout this report.

Less visible are ongoing efforts to maximize impacts and improve quality of care by conducting, analyzing and sharing relevant research. Our Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care™ continues to improve quality of life for Veterans and Seniors, and to benefit the wider healthcare sector. Within the last year, the Centre of Excellence published new research that can help Veterans transition more smoothly into long-term care. Other Centre of Excellence initiatives focus on clinical practice and education, including Skills Days, which are open to staff from long-term care homes across Ontario. The 2025 edition of Skills Days focused on palliative and end-of-life care.

Collaboration with external partners contributes greatly to Perley Health's success. Our ongoing partnerships with the Perley Health Foundation, Veterans Affairs Canada and the Government of Ontario are prime examples. These and other partnerships help address key challenges facing Perley Health and the rest of the long-term care sector, such as lengthy waiting lists and chronic labour shortages. By working together to address these and other issues, we improve the quality of life for members of our community. As Perley Health continues to evolve and to positively impact the lives of more and more people, our commitment to exceptional care remains constant.
