Home and Community Care Administrator – Marcella Kudaka, RN
Home and Community Care Nurse– Elizabeth Cronk, RPN
Senior’s Errands Attendant – Billie-Jo Oliver – The Errands Attendant provides service primarily for residents of the Seniors Complex. Service may be extended to other seniors in the community based on individual and family circumstances.
This program provides home care and community services for people requiring assistance to continue to live a productive life in the familiar surroundings of their own home and community. The program promotes self-reliance, well-being, and support from family and community.
We have an excellent team of Personal Support and Home Support Workers who provide in-home services such as personal care and home management (light housekeeping, shopping and meal preparation).
Eligible clients include Aamjiwnaang band members who have a need for care (chronic disease, post-surgery, immobility, respite, frail, and elderly). Eligibility requirements include an in-home assessment by the program nurse. The care plan is developed by the nurse with input from the client and family.
Seniors Worker – Becky Adams
Our Seniors Program offers a variety of programs throughout the year such as Drop-In, craft workshops, shopping and game nights.
The Seniors Congregate Dining Program takes place on Wednesdays at the Community Centre. Free lunch is served to community members ages 55 and up. We sometimes have guest speakers and other special events and celebrations.
We also partner with the Youth Program to deliver activities for seniors and youth throughout the year. Community members really look forward to our annual Christmas celebrations
Medical Loan Cupboard
We have a limited amount of medical equipment available for lending. Examples include crutches, canes, bath/toilet aids and wheelchairs. Availability of equipment depends on the community needs at the current time. We encourage community members to obtain their own equipment through government programs and are willing to help with or direct this process.
