IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING TRANSPORTATION SERVICES.
Due to the high demand for services and the limited capacity of our transportation resources, HCSS Grey-Bruce has made the difficult decision to temporarily limit rides for the next month.
Effective immediately, we regret to inform you that we will be unable to accommodate any new ride requests until January 20, 2025. The increasing demand for our services has placed significant pressure on our current resources, and we believe this temporary pause will allow our team time to regroup and hire additional staff to better meet the growing need for transportation in Grey-Bruce.
We fully understand the impact this may have on our clients, and we deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause. However, given our current capacity, we are unable to continue at the place we have been maintaining. Please know that we are closely monitoring the demand and are hopeful that we will be able to resume regular booking after this temporary period.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to improve our services for the future.
Home & Community Support Services
Empowering you to maintain physical and mental wellbeing
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.Â
How we create peace of mind
Nourishing
Our nutritious meals are developed by dieticians to meet dietary requirements. Our familiar food and social visits from our staff provide nourishment for both body and soul.
Caring
Our professional staff and friendly volunteers are more than care providers. Scheduled visits allow us to check in and see how our clients are doing, and call for help when needed.
Community
Community is an extension of the home, and we want our clients in their community for as long as possible. This allows for participation in local activities and social events.
Neighbours helping neighbours.
Do you enjoy bringing a smile to people’s faces or helping out someone in need? Join our volunteer team, and help out in your community. Our services have grown, but so has the aging population, many of whom have no access to public transportation. The giving of your time can make a positive impact on someone in your community, even if that just means driving them to an appointment or dropping by for a chat.
Support us through your generous donations
When you give to HCSS, 100% of your donation stays right here in Grey Bruce assisting those in need. Your donation can be given to directly benefit a specific person or service, or as a general donation that will help those who need it most. No matter what your choice, donations always enable more people to be able to afford and access our services.
