Helping Adults 55+ Thrive Since 1986.
For over 30 years, we have helped mature adults to age safely in place, start businesses, find work, and serve their communities.
Helping Seniors to Age Safely at Home
We know that seniors want to stay in their homes, healthy and safe, for as long as possible. That’s why we are here to connect you with trusted service providers who provide valuable home support services, such as housekeeping, companionship and more.
When you call Over 55, you know that you and your loved ones will receive the right service at a competitive price. All of our service providers are trained, insured, and must present a valid police check before working for our organization. We can also connect you to additional health resources in the community.

Supporting Entrepreneurs 55+
Since 1986, we have been helping adults aged 55+ start and grow their own small businesses in home repairs, renovations, housekeeping, and support services. Our programs provide the training, resources, and support needed to turn skills and experience into successful ventures.
Many of our entrepreneurs launch their businesses for a variety of reasons—whether it’s to supplement income after a layoff or downsizing, turn a passion like gardening or carpentry into a profitable business, or overcome challenges in finding traditional employment. Some simply miss the sense of purpose and connection that comes with being part of a workplace. Whatever the motivation, we are here to empower and support their entrepreneurial journey.

Helping Job Seekers 55+
We believe that adults age 55+ are the largest untapped source of experienced, knowledgeable and reliable labour.
We also know that job seeking for adults 55+ can be difficult: many employers still discriminate on the basis of age, which can exclude mature job seekers. We address this by offering specialized training, coaching, and more.
