Gibson Family Health Care cares deeply about the happiness of seniors.

A family owned and operated business in Amherstview (Helen Henderson Care Centre) and Gananoque (Carveth Care Centre) - Gibson Family Health Care makes the health and happiness of seniors a top priority.

The retirement/LTC homes are marking the upcoming World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by encouraging residents, staff, families and supporters to wear purple. Managers are also sharing information about the importance of elder care and respect.

“World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is an important event because it brings to light the importance of treating seniors with the respect and dignity they deserve,” confirms Melissa Locke, Assistant Director of Care at Helen Henderson Care Centre.

“No one deserves to be abused or neglected,” says the manager kindly. “Everyone has the right to a safe & healthy environment and healthy relationships. This day enhances the awareness of elder abuse prevention and intervention. It also educates the public about what elder abuse looks like, and enables them to learn about local resources and various caregiving strategies.”
