Our Vision A Winnipeg where community life flourishes.

For over 100 years The Elliott Community has cared for and served seniors in Guelph. We have grown to become the only not for profit home for seniors in Guelph to offer five levels of care: Life Lease Suites, Retirement, Retirement Plus, Respite, and Long-Term Care. Our residents have made significant contributions to their communities. Our residents are war veterans, service men and women, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. They are philanthropists, factory workers, ministers, farmers, doctors, industry leaders, visionaries and so much more. They have shaped their communities and our Country. It is their generation that formed many of the services and systems we rely on and utilize today.
