Back in Hamilton, while we were trying out a new model of supportive independent living, we still saw a need for excellent, high quality supportive living for those with higher acuity. Our Wentworth Program began in 2002 and continues to provide a high level of support in the 25-room residential care facility, as well as offering standard supports in two neighbouring apartment buildings – 25 one-bedroom apartments and 11 studio apartments.
Our program not only supports residents but has also served as a training ground for dedicated staff over the past 20+ years, fostering a legacy of excellence in care. The residents enjoy daily meals in a homey atmosphere, and annual barbecues involve volunteers, friends, family and community members. Some of the residents have even crafted their own anthem, “Take Me Home, Wentworth South.” (It may sound a lot like a certain well-known John Denver song!)
