Living at Home Program
The Living at Home Program helps maintain basic light housekeeping, assisting seniors and non-seniors recovering from medical ailments to remain living independently.

The program serves seniors residing in Chauvin, Edgerton and Irma, rural areas of the MD of Wainwright and within the Town of Wainwright.

The program is delivered by our L@H Assistants who are reliable and responsible individuals who have been carefully screened and hired for their caring attitude towards people as well as their practical experience. We support the learning needs of our staff through periodic training and skill development specific to their needs and the needs of those they serve.

The fee for this service is $20/hr.
