Residence Attendant Services
Algonquin College offers attendant and personal care services 24 hours per day, eight months of the year, at no cost to residents of Ontario with physical disabilities living in Residence. Canadian students from outside of Ontario, and international students, may be sponsored by their own governments for a portion of their attendant services expense.
The program provides non-medical assistance with everyday tasks such as transferring, using the washroom, grooming, cutting up food, and assistance with eating. Staff are also available to assist with tasks like cleaning, carrying laundry, and setting up books.
The Algonquin College attendant site is managed by Carleton University, where the service is offered 12 months of the year. For more information, and to apply for this service, visit the link below.
