Arun, who has renal system complications and major health concerns that have seen him regularly in and out of hospital. During one of his hospital visits, staff referred him to a Community Support Service Transitional Care program. Arun receives dialysis transportation rides three times a week, a Personal Support Worker (PSW) to help him three times a week with personal care, assistance with meal preparation, and medication reminders. The PSW assistance has reduced the pressure and stress on his spouse as his sole caregiver. She no longer feels alone and is very relieved that she and Arun do not have to rely on the hospital system as much as they did in the past.
