Care Companion Training Program
In collaboration with the Institute for Change Leaders, an initiative of Ryerson University’s Faculty of Community Services, we are facilitating a Care Companion Training Program to train individuals to provide less intensive, non-medical type services such as providing basic help with chores and appointments and alleviating loneliness, to older adults and people in need living in the community.
The program comprises of 6 units including role of Care Companion, working with older adults and families, meal preparation, household management, providing optimal support, and health and safety. The program will be online and available for Toronto/Vancouver Cantonese-/Mandarin-speaking participants.

Healthy, affordable food to people in need
It can be difficult for seniors and individuals living with a disability or low income to purchase groceries during a pandemic, especially with the cold weather that we’re now experiencing.
Through Yee Hong’s volunteer-based grocery delivery service, individuals living in Scarborough and Mississauga have the option of ordering one or more of the preset grocery packages each week and have the groceries delivered to their homes by one of our volunteers.
