A commitment to help seniors age in place

Shari from Peel Living is deeply committed to supporting the vulnerable tenants they serve. She strongly believes that collaborating with the right partners who can effectively engage with the senior tenants can significantly improve their quality of life. This conviction has led Shari to establish a first-time partnership between Peel Living and the William Osler Health System to provide programs that support seniors aging in place.

Poonam, a Registered Dietitian, and Josefina, a Registered Kinesiologist from the Sun Life Osler Healthy Active Living Initiative, are passionate about their work and have been leading these workshops for Peel Living. The goal of this initiative is to provide inclusive and customized programs that cater to the physical and nutritional needs of seniors in the Peel community. It also allows them to socialize, make new friends, and connect as a community.

Inspired by the success of this initiative and the positive feedback from senior residents, Shari is motivated to develop long-term partnerships that will continue to benefit senior residents in our community. Peel Living not only values its existing long-term partnerships but also welcomes new collaborations that will serve seniors across its 75 buildings.
