New help for senior residents

Robert Paterson

A new senior outreach worker, Marta Gubert Gomes, was hired in March 2022, by Action Communautaire Lac-Brome. Her role is to guide seniors and their families to services in the community. Her focus is to keep seniors in their homes as long as possible, keeping them socially active, and breaking the isolation created by the pandemic.

“We are here if you need help finding services for neurocognitive disorders for a family member or friend, if you are finding it hard to get into your bathtub, and would feel safer using a shower, or if you are feeling isolated after the pandemic, and would like to know about free or subsidized activities in the area such as walking groups, exercise classes, group physiotherapy sessions on collective kitchens, arts and crafts. If you are uncomfortable going and need a home visit, please contact us. I am the bridge between you and the available services” says Mrs. Gomes.
