About Dixon Hall Senior Program
Dixon Hall Vision
Good jobs, good health, safe shelter, vibrant cultures-strong community!
Mission
We are community partners in creating opportunities for people of all ages to dream, to achieve, and to live full and rewarding lives.
Dixon Hall Senior Program
Established in 1929, Dixon Hall has for almost a century been supporting the residents in east Toronto downtown to integrate and settle in the community. Among all the people we serve, seniors appear to be the most forgotten, if not the most vulnerable.
Despite the popular image of seniors as living out their last years in the comfort of the Canada Pension Plan, the over 1000 seniors in Dixon Hall’s community are new immigrants or long-term residents with a history of low paying jobs. About 90% of these seniors live solely on government guaranteed income, which is about 20% below the poverty line. Most are widows living alone in subsidized housing.
Every year, we help 500 seniors to improve the quality of life and combat the problems associated with poverty and aging through a holistic continuum of services:
- Over 20,000 hours of 24-7 emergency response, home making and personal care
- Thousands of hours of health and wellness activities
- Hundreds of hours of friendly visiting, security checks and transportation for shut-in seniors done by dedicated volunteers and staff
- Support for victims of violence and advocacy for those in need
- Integration for newcomers
