Help for seniors in Mississauga: where to start, getting around, and trusted local businesses.

Where to start

• Help at home or long-term care: Ontario Health atHome, 1-833-515-1234, arranges publicly funded home care and every long-term care application. Read home care in Ontario.
• Community and social services: dial 2-1-1 to reach 211 Ontario, which helps you find community and social services near you.
• Government benefits: our free Benefits Finder shows which federal, Ontario programs are worth checking.

Getting around

Seniors 65 and over ride MiWay free with a PRESTO card set to the senior fare type, every day on every route. TransHelp, Peel’s accessible transit, is for Peel residents whose disability sometimes or always stops them from using regular transit; age isn’t a factor. Call 905-791-1015. GO Transit is 55% off from 65.

More: transportation for seniors, including the free accessible parking permit and renewing a licence at 80.

Programs and activities

The City’s Mississauga Seniors’ Centre is at 1389 Cawthra Road, 905-615-4810. Read the City’s page for hours and membership.

Help with money

Ontario’s Senior Homeowners’ Property Tax Grant helps homeowners 64 and over with low to moderate income, and is claimed on your tax return; our benefits checklist explains it.
