Health Services
The GWSA and the City of Guelph sometimes arrange for additional health supports on site. Availability varies from time-to-time and has included arthritis support, diabetes care and the occasional Health Information Fair. Our staff can help direct you to what is available through the the Evergreen Centre or through the community.
Arthritis Assistance
The Arthritis Society, in partnership with Guelph Wellington Seniors Association, has sometimes offered free consultation and guidance by a registered Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist on arthritis self-management for those with a confirmed diagnosis of arthritis.
To learn more about current availability please contact the GWSA office at 519-265-7722. They can help direct you to services if currently available at the Evergreen or elsewhere to meet your particular needs.
Alzheimers Support Group
- Alzheimer’s disease is a brain condition where brain cells progressively degenerate.
- Alzheimer’s disease typically follows certain stages that bring about different changes in that person’s life, as well as the lives of their caregivers.
- Because Alzheimer’s disease affects each person differently, the symptoms, the order in which they appear, and the time spent in each stage may be different between people.
- In most cases, the progression is slow, and the symptoms of each stage may overlap, often making the move from one stage to another difficult to notice.
