For over twenty years the founder of Simcoe Senior Services advocated for seniors who suffered neglect during hospitalizations or while living in institutional seniors' settings. As a result of doing this work, it became apparent that many seniors prefer to stay in their own home. Older individuals find comfort and safety in a familiar setting when physical or mental status deteriorates. The founder developed a passion for helping elderly and injured individuals. She became motivated to create Simcoe Senior Services Inc. to provide compassionate, enriching, and quality care each and every day.
Each registered practical nurse (RPN) and personal support worker (PSW) comes to Simcoe Senior Services with appropriate training from a recognized college.

We ensure a wide range of backgrounds, ages, and languages are available to service seniors and those recovering from injuries.
