This week is National Immunization Awareness Week. Lookout recognizes that not everyone has access to immunizations due to several barriers, so we partner with our preferred pharmacy, CareRX, to provide our residents with onsite immunizations whenever possible.

Happy Anniversary to the Jeffrey Ross Residence!
The Ross is our senior-specific residence on the DTES and has been operating since 1993.

Happy Anniversary to the Tamura House! Constructed between 1912 and 1913, it has undergone numerous renovations, rivalling the Russell as one of our most historic sites.
