Empowering Caregivers
We believe that empowering caregivers, in combination with home care and volunteer support, betters the health and quality of life outcomes for you and your family.
Being a caregiver can be overwhelming. As someone you love begins to depend more on you, you may find yourself caring for the day-to-day needs of your loved one. It can be very challenging to balance this with your other responsibilities. If it becomes overwhelming, we can provide help.
Ways We Support Caregivers
- Short-Term Case Management and System Navigation: We can help connect you with the services and community resources you need, including government services, respite options, and in-home services.
- Personal Support: Our Personal Support Workers can provide your loved one with support, including bathing, grooming and toileting, as well as light housekeeping and laundry, and shopping or meal preparation.
- Adult Day Program: Our Adult Day Program (located at 9600 Bathurst Street, Unit 4) provides care to clients who are living with dementia or who are elderly and frail with day programming, while providing you with much needed respite, support, and guidance.
- Hospice & Bereavement Support: Our trained volunteers visit your home as part of our Hospice/Bereavement support program and provide companionship and respite, as well as emotional support to address anticipatory grief.
- Caregiver Support Groups: Our caregiver support groups give you the opportunity to connect with other caregivers, discuss common issues and feelings, learn coping strategies, and find out about community resources.
- 1-on-1 Counselling Support & Future Planning: We offer individual counselling sessions to offer emotional support and advice, helping to address your wellbeing and coping skills. We can also assist you with future planning, including discussions about long-term care, medical needs, and funeral arrangements.
- Building Better Caregivers Workshop: Our 6-week Building Better Caregivers Workshop will equip you with essential tools and resources, focusing on topics such as emotional management, communication skills, and self-care techniques.
