The Supportive Housing Program provides essential support services to eligible seniors living in the designated senior's apartment building in Acton at 17 Elizabeth Drive. This unique program enables seniors to live independently in comfort, safety, and with dignity.

Companion Respite

Luncheons are held twice a month at a local restaurant, church or community hall. The cost varies according to venue. Transportation is provided by volunteers.

Meals are provided in designated seniors apartment buildings in Georgetown and at Elizabeth Drive in Acton. Meal dates and sign-up sheets are posted for residents in each building.

 

Snow Windrow Program

This service removes the snow windrow, which is the pile of slushy snow at the end of your driveway that the snowplow makes as it goes by.  Residents are responsible for clearing their driveways after a snowfall.  However, shoveling "windrows" can be a task beyond the physical resources of some seniors and individuals with physical disabilities.

Oakville Windrow Program

Register now for the Windrow Snow Removal program. Registration deadline is November 25, 2011.

The program will begin on December 1, 2011 and run until March 31, 2011.

The Town of Oakville, together with Links2Care, is offering a user-paid driveway snow windrow removal service. The service begins every time a snowfall exceeds 10 cm (4 inches) and only after the Town has completed plowing all the roads.  Smaller plow units are dispatched to each approved registrant address, where the windrow formed at the bottom of the driveway and is plowed off to the sides.  The plowing of the driveway itself is NOT included in this service.  Depending on the number of program registrants, it may take up to 12 hours to carry out the service.  Windrow plowing follows a precise schedule and cannot accomodate individual timing requests. 

Eligible Oakville residents include:

• Seniors 65 years of age or older. Proof of age will be required
• Persons with a physical disability (including mobility challenges or heart conditions). Doctor's note must be provided upon registration.

Registrants will also need to sign a declaration stating that no able-bodied person(s) under the age of 65 are living at their residence.

Cost:

There is a non-refundable user-fee of $80 plus HST ($90.40) per winter season
