BUILDING STRONG AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
Matrix cares is creating vibrant neighborhoods and communities, where everyone experiences a sense of belonging and connection to one another.

THE CHALLENGE

Matrix Cares is a leader in supporting Canadians to remain living in their homes safely and with dignity through innovative and compassionate community services. Our programs are focused on non-acute interventions that are proactive and solution-based to meet the changing needs of Canadians. Our services are focused on promoting wellness and social inclusion, and we strive to look holistically at not only the needs of our clients, but also their family and caregivers. In our ongoing efforts to proactively meet the needs of the communities we serve all across Canada, we are constantly innovating and seeking out new partnerships that will improve the wellbeing of our community
