My name is Agnes. I fell and broke my hip 6 months ago. At 93, the hospital social worker said I should move to a nursing home. When I told her I lived in a building with Assisted Living Services funded by the Ministry of Health, she contacted my care coordinator who set-up a plan that enabled me to come home. I’m so happy to be back with my cat and friends, again. I’m so grateful for the services I get here.
My name is Robert. I get help twice a week with a shower, but otherwise I try to manage by myself. Knowing that help is available on-site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week has really given me the confidence to live alone. Last month I fell out of bed and couldn’t get up. I pushed my emergency response button and a support worker was here in 5 minutes.
