The City of Timmins Community Home Support Program, funded through the North East Local Health Integration Network (NE LHIN), has transitioned to the Home & Community Care Support Services effective April 1st through a NE LHIN voluntary integration initiative.
The Adult Day Program is an integral program for clients living with dementia in the community, and has been housed in the Golden Manor for over 30 years. Full time staff Josee Carriere has been working in the Program for 23 years and Supervisor Sue Walton has been with the Program for 11 years.
They were committed to reopening the program during the pandemic and through collaboration with the Porcupine Health Unit, renovations were done and furnishings updated to new infection prevention and control standards. This allowed us to safely bring clients back into the program while the plan to transition the program to the Alzheimer’s Society was executed.
With so many great memories with clients, families and volunteers we are happy to see they will be in great hands. We thank everyone who has made these programs a success and wish all of our clients nothing but the best! The contact phone numbers for the new agencies are as follows:
