    Historique

    The Homes for the Aged Branch was created in the Ontario Department of Public Welfare in 1945, expanding and formalizing the functions previously performed by the Inspector of Refuges. The passing of The Homes for the Aged Act in 1947 made the branch responsible for seniors’ homes only.

    This branch reported directly to the Deputy Minister throughout its existence. For approximately the first decade of its existence the branch was alternatively referred to as either the Houses of Refuge and Homes for the Aged or as the Homes for the Aged and Houses of Refuge. In 1968, the Homes for the Aged Branch was merged with the Office on Aging Branch to form the Homes for the Aged-Office on Aging Branch.
