Bayshore Home Health opens second office to meet growing home care needs of Mississauga community--Services include in-home nursing care, personal care, home support and more--Mississauga, Ont., October 6, 2008 – Bayshore Home Health, Canada’s largest provider of home and community health care services, announced today the opening of a second office in Mississauga. The new office will focus on providing a wide range of professional and personalized home care services to the public as well as people receiving care through insurance providers and workers’ compensation boards. Bayshore’s existing Mississauga office will continue to serve local clients receiving government-funded care through the local Community Care Access Centre. The new office is centrally located across from the Mississauga Trillium Hospital at 89 The Queensway West, Suite 202, to allow local residents easy access to professional home care services. These services fill a variety of short- and long-term personal care needs and offer an alternative to institutional care. The office also will offer nurse/caregiver staffing services to nursing homes, retirement residences and other health care facilities. In addition, it will have an on-site clinic that provides a variety of community-based services, including infusible and injectable drug therapies, wound and foot care, and wellness clinics. “With a growing and aging population, there is an increasing need for home care services, yet many people don’t know that home care exists or that they have options beyond institutional care,” says Julie Curitti, area director for the office. “Our new office will help raise awareness of home health care and Bayshore’s ability to bring professional services and individualized care to our clients in the comfort of their homes.” The office will operate 24 hours per day, seven days per week and provide a wide range of services including:
“These services allow seniors, individuals living with disability and people with a wide range of acute or chronic care needs to live comfortably in their own homes, preserving their independence and dignity and enhancing their quality of life,” adds Curitti. A free wellness clinic will be held on Thursday, Oct. 23rd from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the new Bayshore Home Health office in Mississauga. Members of the community are invited to attend.
