The Drew Nursing Home is pleased to announce that Tantramar is now being served by Nursing Home Without Walls (NHWW), a provincial organization that helps make it possible for older adults in continue to live in their own homes.

Rachelle Gariepy has been hired to coordinate the program and is already busy meeting with families, making connections, and planning activities for the new year.

Some of the services that will be provided include:

• friendly visits and phone calls

• use of the Drew’s accessible tubs
• assistance navigating government forms and resources
