Before the construction of an accessible Agnes Gray residents revel in

enough for everyone to gather and made to him:
enjoy being outside. With the addition of “I like that I can be independent
new outdoor furniture (CLHF Backyard now. What I like the most is
Project 2020) the residents fully enjoy how easy it is to use, it’s so wide
dining outdoors, evening ‘cookouts’, and and spacious, and the fixtures
the beauty of summer days. are easy to turn on and adjust.”

New Consistent Flooring

Consistent flooring throughout a home is an important
element for accessibility. Creating a clear visual pathway is
part of accessible design, removing barriers to seniors with
diminishing eyesight and supporting people with dementia.
Three CLH Supported Living Homes, Lescaut, Yonge and
Lower Ottawa, now have brand new flooring installed
throughout their main living and gathering spaces.
