LONG STANDING REPUTATION
Kipling Acres (KA) is an accredited 337 bed
non-profit long-term care home operated by the City
of Toronto, Homes for the Aged. First opened in 1959,
Kipling Acres has a long tradition of providing
quality care in a home-like environment. It provides
services to persons who have demonstrated need,
usually as a result of chronic illness, frailty, or
an inability to independently complete normal
activities of daily living.
The GOA Building Sub-Committee has been carefully and
assiduously investigating & analyzing various
opportunities in an effort to try to meet the needs
of our Seniors' accommodation issue in the most
practical and productive manner. An Ad Hoc Group with
the same objective and desired outcome as ours, has,
since early last year, been looking for a Long Term
Care Home for our Seniors.
The committee looking into the possibility for such a
project realized the LONELINESS that seniors could
face in LTC Homes, if there are no like-minded
residents from the same or similar cultural
background as theirs. To overcome this VERY IMPORTANT
factor, the committee felt that if we could arrange
for our "East Indian Catholic" (EIC) seniors (e.g.
Goans, Mangaloreans, Anglo-Indians) to be housed at
one location it would provide the residents the
opportunity to meet regularly during the day and
participate in activities together. It would also
offer the community at large the opportunity of
visiting each others relatives, arrange
special/regular visits by groups of friends, etc. At
a meeting recently organized by a few members of our
community with the Administration of KA, the latter
agreed to consider clustering our EIC seniors, so
that they can be more comfortable living with
like-minded, culturally compatible, Christian people.
Currently KA has vacancies and the management is most
willing to accommodate the specific needs of our
seniors but this "window of opportunity" may not last
very long, hence the need for our early decision.
