"LOFT is a place I can
call home for the first time in
many, many years."
John Gibson House
John Gibson House (JGH), in the west end of Toronto, provides high-support housing for fifty of the most vulnerable, at-risk and frail older adults and seniors in the community, as well as providing support services to individuals living in the community.
The program offers 24-hour on-site staffing and access to services for seniors with serious mental illness -- a traditionally under-served population. JGH assists them with health and medical concerns, mental illness, and substance abuse problems and other related issues. The communal dining program at JGH provides affordable and nutritious meals. Personal Support Workers provide practical assistance and care to residents, including personal care, housekeeping, laundry and escorts to appointments, enabling them to remain in the community as they age.
The success of the John Gibson House Program is based on a collaboration between its service users, staff members, and the community. John Gibson House has been committed to serving those most in need in our community for over 75 years.
