Home > Blog > SILVERA FOR SENIORS housing; – Metropolitan Calgary Foundation-onerous requirement for tenancy
Silvera Housing for Seniors provides housing to elderlyseniors, some who are almost centenarians. We havebeen informed that a requirement for tenancy is, that inspring, seniors must take down all pictures off the wall,pack up their belongings & together with their furniture,move all out into the hallway in order to facilitate cleaningof the unit.

One year, following this protocol, a senior suffered astroke and has since died.
An appeal has been made to CEO, Arlene Adamsonto reconsider & rescind this tenancy requirement.

Our understanding is, that older persons move, oftenmost reluctantly, out of homes / apartments to seniorshousing, because they can no longer cope withheavy, household activities.
