“I would say it’s rekindled a purpose in my life because I had lost motivation,” Don said.
“I have something to do during the week.”
Over the years, Home Care has helped Don and his wife Dina-Marie continue living independently in their home despite ill-health and ailments having reduced their mobility and ability to do household tasks.
Mopping floors, changing bed linen and vacuuming have become too physically demanding and unsafe
for Don and Dina-Marie, but with cleaning assistance twice a week, the Belmont couple can focus on doing the things they love.
MercyCare Home Care support workers also provide personal care for Don, which includes help to shower and prepare meals.
But the conversations he has with his support workers, the outings and social interaction is what Don looks forward to most.
