Home & Community Care

Program overview: The Home and Community Care Program continues to have a dedicated staff to oversee the needs of our clientele. Our programs and services continue to be in high demand throughout the year, which we are pleased to say that the workload keeps us all extremely busy. The loan cupboard services the entire community and there has been a significant increase in equipment needs/ loans to the community, therefore our services continue to help all community members in need. Our open-door policy has established a very consistent flow of clientele within our Home and community care programs, supports and services. The staff remains diligent to their work and committed to servicing the community, this year has gone by quiet quickly. We look forward to the continuation of servicing and assisting our elder’s and community members in the upcoming year.

Program Mandate: Services will promote independence and respect by providing a safe environment, which reflects the Heiltsuk culture, which is to maintain holistic health and well-being for all.
