Choices in care for the elderly

Making decisions about long term care can be overwhelming. Through the Choices for Care Program, a trained professional can provide a helping hand to you. Care Coordinators in your community will provide a free consultation that includes an assessment of your needs, a review of service options and costs, and assistance in developing your plan of care.

The Choices of Care Program gives you the opportunity to choose services that are provided by a homemaker or other services such as a home delivered meal and electronic home response. The Care Coordinator can help you determine which services are appropriate, available and affordable to you.
