Mission Statement
To provide affordable housing and support services for the seniors of our community, including personal care, meals, nursing, and medical assistance. To facilitate a happy, healthy, and fulfilling lifestyle for our seniors through diverse cultural, heritage, and religious activities. We strive to relieve the loneliness and isolation often found in their lives, and to improve their physical, psychological, and spiritual health, as well as that of their loved ones, with recreational and outing programs
About This Cause
In the Golden Age Village, our residents, their happiness, their safety, and their well-being are the highest priority. Our approach is cemented on understanding, loving kindness, compassion, tolerance, and respect for the principles of freedom and democracy. The Tuổi Hạc – The Golden Age Village for the Elderly (GAVE), incorporated as a not-for-profit entity in April 2013 and registered with the CRA as a charity in November 2014, was established with the objective of building and operating a seniors’ retirement village serving the cultural, economic, social and unique dietary needs of the more than 100,000 Vietnamese Canadians in the Greater Toronto Area. In cooperation with municipal, provincial government and federal governments, our organization serves to build a fully integrated Campus of Care consisting of a Long-Term Care home, a Senior Housing, and a cultural centre – a place to celebrate culture, tradition, and heritage. Golden Age Village for the Elderly was established to address culturally specific senior housing and long-term care facility crises faced by the Vietnamese Canadian community in Ontario, modelled after our sister organization, Golden Age Manor in Edmonton. We are a non-profit establishment in the process of building a smart and innovative Campus of Care Village to provide aging-in-place, culturally-sensitive long term care and affordable housing to our seniors in the GTA, expected to be completed by 2025. Here at the Golden Age Village for the Elderly, we are about senior care, celebrating Vietnamese culture, giving back to the community and youth investment. We provide workshops, resources and classes to seniors, scholarships to Vietnamese Canadian youth, and we are committed to serving local communities in the GTA. Every year, we host galas and concerts to fundraise for our GAVE project to build senior care residences.
