Many retirement communities offer on-site medical and safety services. However, there are instances when residents may need to seek care outside the scope of what a retirement home can offer, sometimes in the form of home-hired care or one-on-one care.
Luckily, for seniors living in Mississauga, there's a range of outside care options. Two of the area's largest and most advanced hospitals – Credit Valley Hospital and Trillium Health Centre – offer a range of outpatient programs and clinics with the referral of a physician.
There are also many health, support and safety services available through organizations, like:
- LHIN Home and Community Care
- Seniors Canada
- Region of Peel Health Services
- CorHealth Ontario
- Assistive Devices Program
- Alzheimer Society of Peel
- Canadian Mental Health Association
- Peel Senior Link
- Ontario Drug Benefit Program
In cases where residents need outside care, most retirement communities will arrange for access to additional health and safety services as needed.
