Resources

How care usually starts in Prince Edward County

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 Details are generalized and nothing identifying is included — we do not publish information about the people we care for.

An island, in practice if not on paper

Prince Edward County is nearly surrounded by water and behaves like an island: roads are long, distances between Picton, Wellington and Bloomfield are real, and in winter the population thins out considerably. The housing is village stock in the three main centres, farmhouses across the county, and a great many shoreline properties — some of them former cottages now lived in year-round. The hospital in Picton is small, so anything acute is a drive to Belleville, and the drive back lands someone in a house a long way from anyone.

A shoreline property in winter

Everyone she knew left in October. Care at five hours a day, split morning and afternoon, was the difference between winter and isolation.

Back from Belleville after a fall

Discharged to a farmhouse outside Bloomfield with nobody nearby. Care started the same evening at eight hours daily and reduced across three weeks.

A daughter in Ottawa

Two and a half hours each way and a father who insisted he was fine. Four hours a day, presented as help with the house, was accepted at once.

What this looks like in practice

Most families in Prince Edward County 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 Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital in Picton, part of Quinte Health, with acute care at Belleville General.

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.
