Our care providers are specially trained personal support workers from SPRINT (Senior Peoples' Resources in North Toronto Inc.), an United Way agency which has been active in the community since 1983, providing community services to help seniors and people with disabilities continue to live in the community.

We have partnered successfully with SPRINT at Angus House, our first residence for people living with early to middle stages of Alzheimer disease or related.

We recognize the importance of family involvement to provide truly effective and individualized resident care. We believe a trusting and equal partnership with family members ensures delivery of the greatest possible care.

Working with families, we can provide a more personal approach by combining our skills, knowledge and experience in shared care giving.

We provide:

• A ratio of personal support workers to residents of 1:6 during the day and evening and 1:12 overnight, seven days a week, supported by a full-time supervisor and manager.


• An understanding of the effect dementia has on behaviours


• A flexible routine which is patterned to follow the desires of our residents. For example, bedtimes and bath times are flexible and breakfast is eaten when desired.


• Encouragement to our residents to remain as involved as they are able, building on their skills and strengths.


• Access to visits by a dementia specialist, a foot care nurse and a hairdresser.


• A full-time activationist on site seven days a week who works with residents on a small and large group basis.
