The Oasis Senior Supportive Living Inc. program is designed to strengthen and sustain healthy communities of older adults by addressing important determinants of healthy aging such as isolation, nutrition, physical fitness, and sense of purpose. It was developed as an innovative solution to support aging well at home. Oasis is founded to serve older adults who, with some support, are able to live independently.  It is a concept that recognizes the importance of self-determination and offers programs based on the identified needs and wishes of Oasis members. Oasis seeks to enable seniors to remain at home and age with dignity. 

​

The purpose of the program is to provide, through collaboration with public sector, not-for-profit, and private sector organizations, a supportive living program for older adults that builds community among members in the setting of an existing private sector apartment building, thus

preventing social isolation, facilitating better nutrition, and promoting physical fitness.
