Assisted Living Program for Seniors Extended to Temagami

2/13/2015

 
The NE LHIN recently announced new funding to provide assisted living services for eight seniors in their own home or senior’s apartment in Temagami.

This program targets high risk seniors with complex needs who are able to continue living in their own homes and direct their own care as long as there is access to frequent, urgent and intense personal supports throughout a 24 hour period.

Features of the Program:
  • Access to service 24 hours per day, 7 days per week
  • 24 hour urgent response by trained and qualified staff allowing clients to immediately connect with services in the event of an unplanned situation

Scope of Services:
The program includes non-medical personal support, essential homemaking, safety checks/reassurance services, medication reminders and assistance when needed.

Who is Eligible for Referral to the Program?

  • A senior who is 65 years of age or older
  • The person is insured under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP)
  • The person demonstrates a need for personal support on a 24 hour basis and has care requirements that cannot be met solely on a scheduled visitation basis
  • There is a need for frequency, i.e. multiple/intermittent visits throughout the day on a 24/7 basis
  • There is a need for urgency, i.e. (the person warrants a prompt response that cannot always be scheduled)
  • There is a need for intensity, i.e. (the person’s condition demands direct personal attention)

How to Make a Referral?
Referrals can be made by contacting the CCAC at (705) 672-5222, Timiskaming Home Support at (705) 672-2254 or by calling our office at (705) 569-3244.
