Older Adults Housing Directory


Older Adults Housing Directory

Summary

In 2013, the Mayor’s Advisory Committee of Age-Friendly Waterloo presented to Council a summary report which included a recommended action plan for continuing to develop the city as a sustainable, age-friendly community. One of these recommendations was to develop and publish an older adult housing directory. In addition to basic information about older adult housing such as:- contact details, – cost, – number of units, – unit sizes and – level of care available, this directory also provides information about amentities provided at each location and in the surrounding neighbourhoods.
