💙 Caregiving is an act of love - and we’re here to help caregivers in our community.

Learn more at von.ca/caregiver

Today, on National Caregiver Day, we recognize the incredible caregivers of all ages - family members, friends, neighbours and loved ones - who provide care to our clients each and every day. 💙

Caregiving is an act of love - but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. VON is proud to support caregivers through our Adult Day Program (ADP), respite services, caregiver supports groups, telephone reassurance calls and more. These options provide meaningful interactions for clients while giving caregivers time to rest and recharge.

Caregivers do not have to do it alone. Read about how a family credits VON for bringing their mom joy and what that meant for her beloved husband: https://von.ca/en/news/family-credits-adult-day-program-bringing-moms-smile-back
