Greg Lindsay M.H.A

Joan and Bill, Greg’s parents, started Selectacare in 1979 and the office became his after school home. Greg went on to get his undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto and a Master’s in Health Administration at the University of Ottawa. After graduating, Greg worked with the Homes for the Aged Division of the City of Toronto as well as the North York CCAC.  In 2002, Greg took over the business from his parents when they retired.

Greg enjoys working closely with both the client’s and caregivers. Going through the process of dementia with his father for the last 17 years he understands the importance of great care and it’s impact on our clients and families.

Greg and his wife Anne enjoy scuba diving and have experienced many beautiful reefs in the Caribbean. His weekends in the summer are spent at the family cottage. In his free time he enjoys sketching and painting as way to relax and stay grounded.
