SUL'HWEEN ELDERS PROGRAM

As with most First Nations, the Elders hold a special place in Cowichan society. The Elders Program ensures that the Elders are well cared for and provided with the right environment to carry out their responsibilities to the community.

Work undertaken by the Sul’hween team includes:

Elders Lunch – Provide lunch to Elders twice a week.
Day Program – Provide physical, mental, spiritual, and cultural nourishment to elders and frail community members that would otherwise be on their own.
Bath Program – Provide access to special tub and walk-in shower for members who have difficulty bathing in regular bath facilities.
Personal Care – Provide in-home individual care and support.
Palliative Care – Provide in-home care to individuals who choose to die at home.
In-home Respite – Provides a break for family caregivers who provide 24-hour care to a person with high care needs.
Swimming Program – Help members with disabilities attend a water exercise program utilizing gentle water resistance exercises.
Arthritis Awareness – Coordinate a twice-monthly self-directed support group.
Healthy Lifestyles – Promote healthy living through a variety of home visits, group sessions, and drop-in sessions.
‘Uy Sultun Letsus – Provide affordable fruit and vegetables.

Professionals employed by Sul’hween include an occupational therapist, registered nurses, dietician, community health representatives, and personal care workers.
