Support Seniors. Support Dignity.

More seniors than ever are living in poverty facing isolation, food insecurity, and homelessness. They’re our parents, grandparents, and neighbours. They deserve to age with safety, stability, and support.

Cool Aid operates five supportive housing buildings specifically for older adults, including a long-term care home designed to help seniors age in place with the care they need.
