Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care
The Yee Hong Centre for Geriatric Care is a non-profit organization serving seniors in the Greater Toronto Area. As the service arm of the Yee Hong community, it carries the responsibilities of planning and delivering high quality and culturally appropriate services to enable seniors to live their lives to the fullest - in the healthiest, most independent and dignified ways.
Officially opened in October 1994, the Yee Hong Centre now operates four long-term care centres in Scarborough, Markham and Mississauga. We offer a continuum of care services to Chinese seniors and long-term care services to seniors of various cultural backgrounds so they enjoy the best quality of life. These include the South Asian, Filipino and Japanese communities. Thousands of seniors benefit from our long-term care, senior housing, medical and rehabilitation services and community-based programs every day.
In December 2009, all four Yee Hong Centres were accredited for 2009-2012 by Accreditation Canada. The three-year accreditation recognizes that Yee Hong meets national standards of excellence in quality care and service. This was the fifth consecutive time that the Yee Hong Centre has received accreditation since it began operation in 1994.
Since June 2004, Yee Hong has been operating a total of 805 long-term care beds and serving over 15,000 individuals from different ethnic communities on a daily basis in Greater Toronto and the surrounding areas.
