A Snoezelen Therapy room and a portable snoezelen cart are available at each Centre for resident and family use. These provide an atmosphere of sensory stimulation and relaxation.
The Centre Social Worker provides counselling services to individuals applying for Long Term Care and to recipients of long term care services.

The goal is to assist clients to meet their psycho-social needs and to maximize the clients' quality of life in accordance with Gerontological and Social Work principles and ethics.
Social Workers are active both in the pre-admission and post-admission phases of placement, conducting tours and giving information about the Centre. The Social Work Program supports a continuum of care philosophy by working with community agencies and health care facilities, making referrals where appropriate and maintaining follow-up when indicated.
At each Centre, the Social Worker facilitates a Family Support Group for family members of residents receiving Complex/Heavy Care and families of individuals on the Centre's waiting list who are still living in the community.
Complex/Heavy Care Support Groups
Both the Newmarket Health Centre and the Maple Health Centre have established a Family Support Group for the next of kin of residents receiving Complex/Heavy Care and families of individuals on the approved waiting list.
The Newmarket Health Centre group meets on the 4th Thursday of the month from 7:00 p.m. 8:30 p.m. The group is facilitated by a Social Worker who can be reached at 905-895-2381 ext. 3405.
The Maple Health Centre group meets on the last Monday of the month from 7:00p.m. 8:30 p.m. in the Town Hall. This group is facilitated by a Social Worker, who can be reached at 905-303-0133 ext. 3637.
The sessions address a variety of topics such as feelings regarding placement, sharing ideas with others in the same situations and providing the comfort of discovering "I'm not the only one. Participants believe that being part of a family support group gives them a sense of community and belonging in addition to coping strategies.
Alzheimer and Related Disorders Support Group
Individuals affected with a severe cognitive or psychiatric impairment are not the only ones that suffer as a result of the disease. Coping and dealing with the losses associated with having a loved one diagnosed with a dementing illness and his/her subsequent placement in a Long Term Care Facility can be very difficult for family members.
To help support families in this regard, monthly support groups are conducted, free of charge, for the families/caregivers of residents of our cognitive care units and for the families/caregivers or applicants on the approved waiting list.
These monthly family support groups are conducted in partnership with the York Region Alzheimer Society. Staff from the Alzheimer Society facilitate the groups at both the Newmarket and Maple Health Centres.
The meetings at Newmarket Health Centre are held on the 4th Tuesday of the month from 7:00 p.m.- 8:30 p.m.
The meetings at the Keswick Day Centre are held on the third Wednesday of each month from 1 - 3pm
The meetings at the Maple Health Centre are held on the 1st Wednesday of the month from 1:30 p.m - 3:00 p.m.
