About McCormick Care Group

McCormick Care Group is a non-denominational charitable organization of female leaders based in the River Bend area of London, Ontario. Serving the local community for 150 years, the group operates several entities focused on providing compassionate care for seniors and those facing the challenges of aging and dementia. Their primary facilities include McCormick Home, a long-term care residence for seniors, and McCormick Dementia Services, which offers a community-based program for individuals and their families. The organization provides a variety of specialized supports, including a McCormick Day Program, support groups, and overnight respite care. Residents and clients can participate in enrichment initiatives such as therapeutic activities, gardening, music, entertainment, and bus trips. Additionally, the group manages McCormick Dementia Research, which focuses on strategic research partnerships to improve dementia care models, and the McCormick Care Foundation, which funds specialized programs and spiritual care. The history of the group dates back to 1874, when it was established as the Women’s Christian Association. The McCormick Home itself was originally donated by Thomas J. McCormick in the late 1800s for elderly care. Since 2006, these services have been located on Kains Road. The group emphasizes a relationship-centred approach guided by the core values of compassion, accountability, respect, excellence, and collaboration. They strive to enhance the quality of life for their clients through innovative dementia care and formal accreditation reviews.
