Special Needs Care in Spruce Grove

| In high school it was mandatory for us to work along with disability kids and I got along and had so much fun with all of the kids and it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life and as well as being a camp counsellor and having a variety and diversity of kids with a diversity of disability as well was a huge learning curve for me, but I learned so much from them and I just get so much joy helping and playing with kids makes me feel needed and makes me feel like im making a change in someones life. I would mostly figure out activities to do with the kids whom I have worked with that could be going out activity or getting a group together and playing games or even watching a movie.

| Bridge to Care Inc. is a not-for-profit organization with our corporate office based in Spruce Grove, AB with branches in Edmonton and Red Deer and been providing health care and support for a variety of needs in rural areas of Alberta. We are different because we offer a broader variety of services than other agencies. A simple list of provided services is to imply that these are finite, and mutually exclusive, whereas this is seldom the case in health care. We consider our services a very broad form of respite and community aid (in itself, a form of respite for society). Specialised attention includes care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, neurological disorders and other needs, persons of all ages with developmental disorders, nursing care for a variety of needs such as seniors care and dementia care, assistance and support through the various stages of pregnancy and childbirth, for accident victims, and other extensions in support of the community to address domestic violence and homelessness issues. We have clients that are supported from as little as one hour a week up to 24/7 dedication.
