Hughes Home Health is a new business in Midhurst
By Lisette Hughes Dec. 16, 2024
This is a family business consisting of father, mother and son. With the ageing population expected to amass 25 percent of our population by 2041, the economic and financial reality is that seniors will be required to remain in their homes for longer periods of time without the option to seek alternative living accommodations. This is where we can help. We are a full service business, offering mobility products such as walkers, scooters and hospital beds for sale or rent. We are prepared to help your home transition into the ageing process with stair-lifts, lift chairs, kitchen aids and bathroom aids designed to maintain the activities of daily living. But these products aren’t just for the ageing. Individuals suffering from chronic disease or post surgical rehab can also benefit from many of these products. The store also carries medical compression garments and adaptive clothing for those with limitations due to disease, surgery or assisted care needs.
Unique to our store is that we offer home handyman service for anyone requiring small household safety modifications and adjustments. This may be the installation of products such as grab bars, hallway railings or doorway modifications. And if you have a small job that needs done, we can do that too. As a family run business and long term residents of Midhurst, it was important for us to focus on the community and surrounding area we love. Our passion is to affect the process of ageing into a dignified and confident experience. We want you to know that “we see you” and that you matter.
MAY COURT CLUB GIVES $2,535 TO FOOD BANK
The members of the May Court Club of Barrie gave $2535 in gift cards to the Barrie Food Bank to purchase toilet paper in bulk. The Barrie Food Bank had 7,456 client visits in November 2024 which is double from last year. On a recent tour of the facility, it was learned that a family of five could only choose up to 2 rolls of toilet paper on a visit every 28 days and that was only if it was in stock. With unprecedented needs, the Barrie Food Bank (and 40% of Food Banks across Canada) have had to cut back quantities issued to clients due to increased costs. Generous community donations in food, non-perishables and funds ensure that the purchasing and logistics of the Barrie Food Bank can continue in a very well thought out manner. Please support them with direct donations, through a Food Drive or at your local grocery store.
