Senior Home Care in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Sault Ste. Marie is a city of approximately 72,000 at the junction of Lake Superior and Lake Huron, one of the Great Lakes' most historically significant locations and the home of the Sault Ste. Marie Canal National Historic Site. The Soo — as residents know it — is a steel city whose Algoma Steel heritage shapes its identity as deeply as its extraordinary natural setting at the Soo Locks where two of the world's greatest lakes meet.

Sault Ste. Marie has a significant Indigenous population with connections to Garden River First Nation and Batchewana First Nation, Ojibwe communities with deep ties to this meeting of the Great Lakes that predate European settlement by thousands of years. RoyalCare approaches care for Indigenous elders in the Sault area with deep cultural respect, welcoming guidance about Anishinaabe values, practices, and community protocols.

The Soo's senior population reflects its industrial heritage — many retired Algoma Steel workers and their spouses, people of Italian, Finnish, and Ukrainian heritage who came to work in the mills and have made this Northern city their permanent home. RoyalCare's cultural matching capabilities extend to Italian and Ukrainian-speaking seniors in Sault Ste. Marie who remain most comfortable in their heritage languages.

Sault Area Hospital provides acute care for Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding Algoma District. Our Northern Ontario coordinator team is integrated with their discharge planning process, ensuring the Soo's seniors return home with care in place.
