Home / About Us
Extendicare has been a trusted leader in seniors’ care for more than 50 years and provides compassionate, high-quality health services across Canada.
Founded in 1968 by Harold Livergant—a visionary dedicated to improving seniors’ care—Extendicare has grown from a single home in Ottawa to become one of Canada’s largest providers of long-term and home health care. Today, we operate through Extendicare, ParaMed, Extendicare Assist, and SGP Purchasing Network brands to ensure that seniors receive the care they need, wherever they call home.
With deep clinical and operational expertise, our highly trained teams are relentless in improving standards and delivering personalized, resident and patient-focused care. Whether in our long-term care homes or through our home health care services, we are committed to meeting the growing needs of Canada’s aging population.
Through SGP, we offer group purchasing and procurement services to third-party clients who support more than 149,000 seniors and others in need across Canada. Extendicare is the leading provider of long-term care and home health care, with 99 owned and operated long-term care homes, and through ParaMed, provides more than 11.5 million hours of home care each year to clients in their own communities.
Our mission, vision, and values guide everything we do:
Providing people with the care they need, wherever they call home.
Ensuring everyone in Canada has access to the care and support they need to live their best lives.
