About Perennial

Perennial delivers integrated primary care and wellness services directly within retirement residences, combining on-site and virtual care to meet seniors where they are. By proactively anticipating the needs of older adults, we improve quality of life, reduce unnecessary hospital visits, and ease the strain on the public healthcare system.

Today, we are active in over 29 retirement residences across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, with continued plans for growth and expansion.

Our interdisciplinary team including physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, dietitians, and massage therapists works together with one clear mission: to keep residents healthy, active, and comfortable in their own homes.
