Local health and senior support services

Yummy cupcakes were served!

I have a friend I visited in LTC in Muskoka,
which began my regular volunteer hospice work.
You can read her Life Review here.
I advocate creating a Life Review for loved ones.

I recently attended a fundraiser presentation!

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.

Hearing aids are so small!
How many of us argued with parents to get them?!

I was happy to attend the presentation of cheques to local service organisations.
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.
