Over 1.9 million Ontarians are aged 65 years & older, that represents 15% of the province’s overall population. Accessible living spaces accommodate the ageing population giving them more independence and security to live in their own homes. One of the first in the world, the ReliAble Living Centre provide products and services that incorporate barrier-free and accessible living solutions to meet the needs of their clients and help them stay in the home they love.
