Home & Community Support Services of Grey-Bruce

Home & Community Support Services of Grey-Bruce HCSS staff & volunteers provide support to promote independence & enhance quality of life for seniors and adults-with-disabilities. www.hcssgreybruce.com

We believe that people are worthy of human dignity and respect, and deserve the support to maintain quality of life and independence within their community. We believe that people deserve a caring environment, which promotes a personal responsibility towards a healthy existence. We believe that people working in partnership with a collaborative spirit through volunteer service, is the best method for providing a social support system of services to assist in the individual attaining a level of personal well-being. Such a system then is: consumer centered, well coordinated, resource sensitive, well planned, accountable, equitably accessible and offers an array of services directed towards optimizing and maintaining quality of well-being for individuals within their community. Our purpose is to manage and deliver Ministry of Health approved services to eligible seniors and physically challenged adults within Grey and Bruce Counties, including the City of Owen Sound. The services we provide are to assist clients in maintaining their independence within their community and daily lives.

We’re always grateful for the chance to connect, collaborate, and support our local healthcare partners.

Thank you for having us, GBOHT! 🙌

🍎Steph and Tess from Grandma Lambe's joined our North Grey Day Away program last week to make homemade applesauce with us!

Steph shared the history of Grandma Lambe's, taught us about different apple varieties, and brought everything we needed to create the most delicious batch.

It was such a treat to have the next generation of Grandma Lambe's carry on the apple tradition with us. ❤️🍏

Thank you, Steph and Tess — we loved having you!

🍁 Mind Your Balance

Fall’s beauty can also bring hidden hazards — wet leaves, uneven ground, or early ice patches. 🍂

Stay steady by wearing supportive shoes, using mobility aids, and taking your time outdoors. Caregivers can help clear walkways and make sure paths are safe.

🎵🎸 A special visit at Day Away!

Kim, whose parents are both Day Away clients, joined us while visiting from the Yukon to share her love of music — and stories of life up north! It was such a joy to have her with us, and we’re so grateful she stops by to play whenever she’s in town. 💛

Today, we pause to remember.

We honour the courage, sacrifice, and stories of those who have served — and those who continue to serve.

Lest we forget. ❤️

🚗 Drive a Smile, Deliver Connection! 🚗

HCSS Grey-Bruce is looking for Transportation Volunteers to help seniors in our community get to appointments, programs, and social activities safely. Your time behind the wheel can give someone the freedom to stay active, connected, and independent.

Volunteering as a transportation driver is flexible and deeply rewarding—you’ll make a real difference in someone’s life with every ride. If you enjoy helping others and have a reliable vehicle, we’d love to hear from you!
