Forever Young Active Aging Program
Our Forever Young Active Aging Program (Community Outreach) was created as the result of years of experience in working with seniors in a variety of settings including Retirement Homes, Long Term Care Homes and Home Care. The Program's content and context thereof is the fruit of our being able to work closely with variety of care givers that have an unwavering commitment to Elder Care.

Please Note: Participants in the Forever Young Active Aging Program are required to secure a Doctor's Referral to actuate OHIP coverage and are subject to a Physiotherapy Initial Assessment. Furthermore, participants will be scored based on quarterly Outcome Measures which are measured against the initial baseline findings as prescribed for in the Initial Assessment. This Quarterly Re-Assessment as is the Initial Assessment is completed by a Physiotherapist.
