ONTARIO NURSING HOME ASSOCIATION TRUST

The Ontario Nursing Home Association Trust supports arts and culture programming within long-term care facilities across Ontario. The organization recognizes that residents in nursing homes benefit from access to music, theatre, visual arts, and cultural activities that enhance quality of life and foster social connection. By funding performances, workshops, and creative projects, the Trust brings professional artists and volunteers into care homes to engage residents in meaningful cultural experiences. The program addresses the isolation that can occur in institutional settings by creating opportunities for residents to participate in or experience the arts regardless of mobility or cognitive challenges. Based in Toronto, the organization works with nursing homes throughout the province to integrate cultural enrichment into daily life, believing that access to the arts is an essential component of dignified aging and resident wellbeing.
