Dave H. ALS Client

I wanted the staff at ALS Oshawa to know how grateful I am for everything they do for me- the service is very much appreciated and the staff are all just great. I’m really thankful for all the help I am getting and willing to flow through the times with COVID-19. Some of the tasks have been suspended due to the pandemic but I’ve been very grateful for all the help I’ve been getting regardless of that.

Maria K. ALS Client

I had a lovely ALS staff visit me today and she helped me out a lot with doing my hair properly. With my hair dressers closed for the past few months I’ve had difficulty doing my own hair and I so appreciated this gesture from the PSW and it made me feel so much better.

Irene T. SH Client

I don’t know what I would do without the SH staff. I recently injured my back and all the PSWs have been so gracious and helped me with my housekeeping and personal care. It’s been a stressful time for me but they have made it so worry-free. I really appreciate all the assistance they have given me.
