After-Care

04/01/2026

A new year often brings reflection.

And for many families, it also brings questions.

If the past few months highlighted a need for a little more support at home, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself.

At After-Care, we support people to stay living at home, safely and comfortably, with care that fits around their life.

No pressure. Just honest conversations and the right support when you’re ready.

Today, on International Day of People with Disability, we’re celebrating the power of inclusion — and the opportunities it creates for people to explore, connect and experience the world in their own way.

At Shamac Lodge, inclusion isn’t just an idea. It’s something we put into practice every day through supported outings, skill-building experiences, confidence-boosting adventures and moments where people feel safe, seen and encouraged to try something new.

For us, opportunity looks like freedom, friendship, discovery, community — and moments just like this one.

Here’s to creating a more inclusive world, one experience at a time. 💛

Today is International Day of People with Disability — a day to acknowledge the contribution, strength and individuality of people with disability across our community.

This year’s theme, “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress,” reminds us that true progress isn’t measured by systems or structures — it’s measured by people. By how supported, included and connected we all feel.

At After-Care, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do.
It’s in the way we support people to stay living at home, connected to their community, and confident in their independence.
It’s in the gardens we plant together, the meals shared, the friendships encouraged, and the small everyday moments where people feel seen, valued and able to live life their way.

Today we celebrate the people we support, the carers who show up with heart, and the communities who champion inclusion every day.

Together, we move forward.
