Madden Hearing Centre, in Lanark County, has presented donations totalling $10,000 to our Lanark County community and healthcare services.
I am proud of the services our local communities offer in Ontario. For more services, visit www.211ontario.ca or call 211 for information. Also, Canadian VirtualHopsice.ca, or HospiceNet.org.I volunteer with Community Home Support - Lanark County, and we provide the following services:
• Meals on Wheels
• Transportation to Medical Appointments
• Foot Care
• Diners' Club
• Home Help/Home Maintenance
• Friendly Visiting
• Security/Reassurance Contact via phone or personal visits
• Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service
• Respite Care
• Grief Counselling
• Lanark County Bereavement Groups for adults and children
Many are ignorant of local services which allow seniors to manage their Home Care. Most are free or have nominal costs.

The Maddens presented red envelopes to Perth's Meals on Wheels representatives, The Table Community Food Centre, The Salvation Army, with donations from their recent fundraising campaign.

It isn't easy to coordinate home care for sure. We are reluctant to have Mom go on hospice yet because of some wound care she needs. But because there is diminishing progress, home nursing may be ending soon. There are no for pay home nurses that I can find. That puts us between a rock and a hard place so to speak. - Margy
Great that you are more than involved and also an advocate for something that seems to need more advocacy every year.
Jenn, you are involved in such important stuff.
It is so nice of you to be so involved with your community. The services provided to the Elderly are great, I am sure it is needed and very appreciated. Thumbs up to you!
