Support Services

Social Work

A social worker is available to provide support and counselling to new residents as they adjust to life at Thompson House, as well as to assist with residents' psycho-social needs as required. Our social worker also assists residents with a variety of practical concerns such as pension inquiries, powers of attorney planning and linking with other professional services.

Laundry and Housekeeping
Laundry service is provided free of charge to all our residents. However ironing, mending and dry cleaning are the responsibility of the resident or family. We recommend that residents wear good quality, easy care clothing for their convenience and comfort.

Housekeeping services are provided in each resident’s room and our dedicated staff keep the lounges and common areas tidy and clean for everyone’s enjoyment.
