The Care Centre’s staff have worked very quickly to ensure that you stay connected with your loved ones. Our new e-chat program aims to keep familiies connected to their loved one through regular audio or video calls. 

 

 

The Care Centre is extremely grateful to Svitlana Nalywayko, Board Member who launched the One of Us Christmas Campaign in 2019, aimed at helping isolated seniors. With funds raised from this campaign we were able to purchase Ipads, which we will use to make the video chat with your loved one possible. We also want to thank all of our donors who supported the One of Us campaign.  To learn more about this campaign click here.

 

The Care Centre was one of the very first long-term care homes in the GTA to provide this service. "I knew my Dad would get emotional, the opportunity of seeing his family (his grandsons, myself and our dog Milo) is something that I knew he would treasure. And I too was emotional after the video chat but our hearts are now warmer and grateful. Thank you to the Care centre for this opportunity which is SO MUCH appreciated", says Daria Olynyk, Family Member.

 

 

Visitor Access

The Ukrainian Canadian Care Centre will be resuming in-persons visits to the Care Centre.  Outdoor and Indoor visits will adhere to the Ministry of Long-term Care Home guidelines and recommendations. Our goal is to provide opportunities to all residents to see their loved ones in-person, while ensuring residents’ safety.

Please know that we will continue to offer scheduled virtual visits (video and phone) as there may be times when it is not advisable for our residents to have in-person visits. A resident can have only one visit per week in-person and/or virtual.  Outdoor visits will be weather permitting. If the weather does not cooperate, we will reschedule your outdoor visit at the earliest available appointment.
