Home care in New Sudbury
New Sudbury is where a large share of Greater Sudbury’s older population actually lives, in houses bought new in the 1960s and 70s by people who worked for Inco or Falconbridge. Most of them are still there, and the calls we take are about keeping it that way.
Postwar houses built on rock
The housing is 1960s and 70s bungalows, back-splits and side-splits on curving streets off Barrydowne, Lasalle and Kennedy. Because the whole city is built on the Canadian Shield, a great many houses sit above the road with steps cut up to the door, and driveways are steeper than they look. Inside, the split levels mean four or five half-flights in daily use. Add a winter that runs November to April and the steps outside become the thing that decides whether someone leaves the house at all.
How care usually starts in New Sudbury
Drawn from real cases in this area. Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.
Steps up from the driveway, in February
Nine of them, cut into rock, glazed over by December. Care at five hours a day covered every arrival and departure and she stopped being housebound.
Half-flights in a back-split
Laundry down, bedroom up, and a hip that had stopped cooperating. Care at six hours a day reduced the day to two necessary climbs.
Discharged from Health Sciences North
Home on a Friday afternoon with new limitations and a daughter in Toronto. Care started that day at eight hours daily and reduced over three weeks.
What this looks like in practice
Most families in New Sudbury start with four to eight hours of care a day. Care usually begins within a day of the first call, and the same day where someone is coming out of hospital — typically Health Sciences North.
We support people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, ALS, paraplegia and reduced mobility, people recovering from a stroke or a fall, and older adults who simply need help to manage the day. In almost every case above the outcome was the same: the person stayed in their own home and received their care there.
