HOME SUPPORT

Renfrew and Area Seniors' Home Support is committed to excellence and providing services that are accessible to seniors and adults with disabilities... In the fall of 2012, two retired women, Nellie Kingsbury with 38 years' experience working with seniors and Karen Abbott a lifelong volunteer envisioned a seniors' drop-in centre to address the social isolation problem affecting the senior population in the Town of Renfrew and outlying areas. After much discussion and under the auspices of Renfrew & Area Seniors Home Support (RASHS) they applied for an Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) Grant. The Centre would fit in with RASHS' mandate to provide assistance to seniors living independently. In March 2013 they were awarded the grant to pilot a Seniors' Activity Centre.
