Health Support
For individuals in the shelter, transitional housing programs and correctional housing, Cornerstone provides breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as an evening snack. This translates to over 50,000 healthy meals each year. Alternate menus are provided where possible to accommodate religious or medical dietary restrictions as well as work or other suitable appointments.
These meals are served by our staff at our Simcoe Street location. As individuals congregate for the meals, it gives them a sense of community and belonging, particularly for the clients who have transitioned into single dwellings. It also provides a great opportunity for the staff to stay in touch with those that are in transitional housing. We make sure they are in good health, and progressing in the goals they have individually set for themselves. We are there to help.
Twice a week we have a community Health Worker from Oshawa Community Health Clinic on site to do foot care and provide basic health service
Cornerstone does not provide addiction services but we do refer our clients to the agency that will best suit their needs.
“Every tenant works with their support staff to develop a personalized support agreement which is a reflection of their needs and dreams and the steps required to reach these goals.”
