Day programs are available for seniors and are a marvelous first step to a more dependent living. Most are able to cope with varying degrees of physical and/ or mental limitations – and a day a week up to five days a week are options for attendance. Letus find out whats available in your community.
Online Shopping / Home Delivery
In this day of internet shopping and ordering there are many companies that offer delivery often free with the purchase, or home delivery of orders under certain conditions. It is always worth checking this out if getting there is a another challenge in an already difficult day.
Grief Counselling
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is difficult for everyone. But there are some things that can help you to understand grieving and if you need it, there are professionals who deal specifically with people having trouble with grief. Start the conversation with us.
Caregiver Stress Management
Caregiver stress is something that can be completely debilitating. Caregivers are so concerned about the person they are caring for that they do not consider themselves and their own well – being. But if caregiver stress is not managed then the caregiver burns out and is no good to anyone. We have people who offer caregiver relief as well as people who can help manage the stress before the caregiver burns out.
Funeral Services
Funerals and end-of-life options are as individual as the person themselves. There are many considerations (cremation vs burial, formal church service vs casual gathering, celebration of life vs proper funeral) and if you have concerns about costs, organizing, having it pre-arranged, we can help you understand the choices and make them a reality. For some it is important to have their wishes known ahead of time and these can be difficult conversations – we can help!
Home Management
Sometimes even relatively simple things like grocery shopping, laundry, paying bills, meal preparation and light housekeeping can be too much to cope with. Our team offers basic home management if you can’t manage it at the moment, or longer term.
