With an impending winter storm being forecast for overnight and throughout the day on Monday, we would remind our clients and their families that their visits may or may not be affected. Please be prepared to activate your back up plan, especially if conditions require staff to be off the road for a prolonged period of time.
Should power and internet go down at any time, clients can still call our general line at 902-648-2137. Leave a message and someone will return your call if urgent.

Our road staff will call their clients if cancelling a visit due to the weather/road conditions. However, if they can't get through and are unable to leave a message for any reason, feel free to call the message line above to confirm.

We will be assessing the weather and road conditions tomorrow morning, potentially delaying opening, or closing it for the day. Our admin staff will still be working from home, as long as we have access to power and internet services.

We wish to thank you for your consideration of the safety of our staff. Stay safe everyone!

We are entering the summer months. While we enjoy the sunshine and warm days, heat can become a health risk if not monitored. Our CCAs are encouraged to watch for signs of heat stress and have been given best practices for preventing heat stroke. These included staying hydrated, taking breaks as necessary, using cooling towels provided by the office, and if necessary, during particularly hot periods, doing only those tasks necessary if they are not in air conditioned environments.
We would ask our clients and caregivers to be aware of the risks of heat stress, not only for our workers, but for clients and family's health as well.
Thank you, and enjoy your summer!
