We put people first by providing our residents with the highest standards in quality care and services and our staff with a supportive, flexible, and progressive work environment.

Our ongoing commitment to finding new, innovative living solutions for all seniors is highlighted by the implementation of the internationally acclaimed Meaningful Care Matters Butterfly Model of Care. Primacare was the second LTC operator in Ontario to implement this model which focuses on delivering emotion-focused care that connects with people in a dignified, human way.

Additionally, in 2018, Primacare undertook a ground-breaking research project called The Albert Project, to investigate an innovative approach to dementia care that utilizes virtual reality (VR) as a therapeutic intervention for residents with moderate to severe dementia. The pilot phase was completed in 2019 with findings that showed it was clinically significant to their residents.
