Building Green House cottages in Sheridan is important

Share a personal experience about a family member or friend. How could life in their later years have been better?

Sheridan’s elder population is 16.9% of the population compared to the national average of 12.4%. Almost 70% will need some form of long-term care assistance.

Elders deserve to live in a “home” where they are treated with respect and dignity and have opportunities to share their life stories and experiences.

Continuing to live life with meaning and purpose is important at every age.

Sheridan is well-positioned to provide the professional staff that is needed and has the support of the medical community and is partnering with Sheridan College to provide training.
