Extendicare Inc. is a Canadian owner and operator of senior care facilities, offering long-term care homes, retirement living communities and home health care services. The company’s integrated model brings together brick-and-mortar care settings and in-home support under one umbrella, positioning it as a leading provider of comprehensive care for aging populations across Canada.
Tracing its roots back to the early 1960s, Extendicare has grown through both organic expansion and targeted acquisitions. In the mid-2000s, the company strengthened its home health offering through the acquisition of ParaMed Home Health Care, and has since continued to refine its service mix to address evolving demographic and regulatory trends in the senior care sector.
Extendicare’s long-term care homes are located primarily in Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, while its network of retirement residences serves urban and suburban markets in key provinces. Through ParaMed, the company delivers a range of in-home supports—from personal care and nursing to rehabilitation therapies and clinical case management—addressing the full spectrum of needs for seniors who wish to remain in their own homes.
Headquartered in Toronto, Extendicare is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Wafer, supported by a seasoned executive team and board of directors with deep expertise in health care operations, real estate management and regulatory compliance. The company emphasizes quality of care, continuous improvement and strong community partnerships as it navigates the challenges and opportunities in Canada’s senior living landscape.
