Primacare™ Living Solutions is a privately held Canadian Long-Term Care Operator based in Toronto, Ontario and is a fully accredited member of both CARF and the OLTCA. 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.
