Education Partnerships

York Care Centre is committed to providing education, information, gerontological research and development material, to families, staff and volunteers. Frequent educational services, focus groups, guest speakers, and in-house expertise are some approaches delivering this service.

We welcome students from several colleges and universities to support their clinical training. Student trainees may provide care to residents, under the supervision of their clinical instructors and York Care Centre staff. We also partner with local high schools for co-op placements, the students work with our Therapeutic Recreation and Care department and help conduct therapeutic activities on our units.

Liaison with the Universities, Community Colleges and other educational providers is a multifaceted opportunity that often enhances the lives of the residents, staff and students.
