Community Care Northumberland (CCN) is thankful to have funding from the Northumberland United Way’s “Community Impact Investment Funding”, supporting our most vulnerable seniors in our community with CCN’s ‘Supporting Seniors at Home‘ and ‘Stretcher Transfer’ services.

This will help support our Home at Last (HAL) program, while at the same time provide subsidy to clients that need additional help to use other CCN services such as Meals on Wheels, Wellness and Transportation. This investment funding also helps CCN launch its own Stretcher Service (by retro fitting CCN vans), and helping to fill a gap in services, while minimizing the cost to Northumberland residents.

The goal and reasoning for the Stretcher Service is to provide a dignified mode of transportation, with the hope of lessening the wait time for transport, including transportation to Ed’s House Northumberland Hospice Care Centre.

Furthermore, when combined with CCN’s Home at Last (HAL) program, Heather Marriot, CCN Manager of In-Home Services explains, “The new service will provide a much needed local and affordable ‘Stretcher Service’ for Northumberland residents. This major cost savings for our ‘Home at Last’ program will allow us to service more hospital patients transitioning home safely and in a timely manner."  

A huge thank you goes to Northumberland United Way for helping get this vital service off the ground and supporting older adults in our community through CCN’s In-Home Services.

Hey friends, COVID-19 really did a number on organizations that rely on volunteers, so we’ve partnered with the United Way, Cameco and other community organizations to host a Volunteer Fair October 18th at the Lions Centre. Hoping we can partner people’s interests, passions and skillsets with organizations that fit with them! Feel free to share!
