This is Julia - a PSW who has worked at Carefor Mackay Centre in Pembroke since 2014 and is now a student bridging into the RPN program.

After more than a decade caring for residents, she’s taking the next step in her career to honour someone who changed her life: Helen, a beloved Mackay nurse who passed away last year.

Helen encouraged Julia to keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing up for residents who may have no one else.

Julia’s efforts to better herself are a tribute to her friend and mentor, and to the shared belief that kindness, connection, and compassion can change someone’s world.

Carefor is proud to support Julia in her journey as one of 10 recipients of Carefor Bursaries.

This week is National Volunteer Week and is one of our favourite weeks of the year because we get to celebrate the wonderful people who help our support centres across Eastern Counties operate. While we have so many amazing volunteers, this week we are profiling Diane Bartlett, who has been with us at the Lan-Char Support Centre in Lancaster for 14 wonderful years.

Learn about how Diane helps us host our seniors and run our centre, and how we help her stay healthy and connected. https://carefor.ca/stories/volunteering-and-fitness-in-lancaster/

Jenny Maroun was a nurse but didn't expect to spend her retirement caring for her husband, Jean, who was the former Chief of Staff at the Ottawa Hospital and Head of Oncology at the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre.

As is often the case for caregivers, they lose themselves and their relationship in caregiving. Carefor is proud to support caregivers like Jenny who we believe are the backbone of the healthcare system.

Jean attends our Carling Adult Day Program that offers a day away for people with dementia and a break for those who care for them.
