North Shore Better at Home enhances seniors’ well-being and independence by providing a selection of non-medical services.
The North Shore Better at Home program is open to residents of the North Shore who are 65 years and over or who are between the ages of 55-64 and on disability assistance. To be eligible, a resident must be living independently and not in private or publicly subsidized assisted living or a long term care home. We provide assistance with the following:
- Grocery pick-up and delivery
- Light yard work
- Minor home repair
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Friendly visiting
- Light housekeeping (waitlist for subsidized services)
A formal intake assessment is required to determine program eligibility. Fees may apply based on a sliding scale that depends on an individual’s or couple’s annual total income. Friendly visiting services by volunteers are free of charge. Please note that an eligible resident may be placed on a waitlist depending on the service requested and the availability of volunteers.
