Rhonda MacLean, Recreation Therapist – Northwood Ivany Place

“Nova Scotia accessibility association is the service resource the Northwood Ivany Place Community Outing Club needed.

This resource supports the nursing home residents to go into their community together, reducing many of the physical and financial barriers that exist for them every day that they experience due to their disabling condition. This resource helps the club experience cost effective access to their own community. It cannot be overstated what community access to support freedom from illness and ability to be independent yet together means to this group of people.”
