Caregiver Support and Education Services - Based at our Wellness Centre for Seniors and Caregivers in Aurora, our Caregiver Education Counselor addresses your caregiving concerns and provides helpful advice: one-on-one and group consultations, workshops, information and referrals.
A wealth of information and resources can be accessed through our Wellness Centre Library and our website (www.chats.on.ca), including “The CHATS Room,” which is an online discussion/support group -- and an e-support service, where you can confidentially send your questions and concerns directly to our Caregiver Education Counselor. She will respond personally to all your questions.
CHATS also recognizes that caregivers desperately need special pampering time to themselves – so, we offer some lovely de-stressing spa services at our Wellness Centre for Seniors and Caregivers.

Adult Day Program - Take care of yourself while your care recipient gets taken care of. Five days a week at our Wellness Centre for Seniors and Caregivers in Aurora, seniors can enjoy a variety of social and wellness activities with others, as well as lunch. Yoga, games, creative arts, laughter therapy, singing, dancing, baking, spa therapies and much more. A great time for seniors, and it also provides a much-needed break for you, a caregiver, to re-charge your batteries or tend to other commitments in your life.
In-home Caregiver Relief - Help for seniors and caregivers. A certified Personal Support Worker (PSW) provides care in your care recipient’s home when you require a little extra help, a much-needed break, or when you can’t be there yourself. A PSW will assist with personal care, meal preparation and leisure activities. The PSW provides safe and secure companionship while you take some time out for yourself.
