Branch programs are for stroke survivors living in the community and their caregivers. Stroke survivors must be capable of participating meaningfully in the program. Stroke survivors must be independent in feeding, mobility, toileting and personal hygiene or have a caregiver accompany them who can provide the necessary assistance. We do not have the resources to accommodate people who have significant behavioural problems such as aggressive/challenging behaviour, sexual inappropriateness, or destructive tendencies.

While we observe social distancing protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, SRABC offers the Collingwood-Richmond Virtual Stroke Recovery Program (Cantonese) every Monday mornings, 10:00am – 12:30pm. If you are interested in joining the Virtual Stroke recovery program (Cantonese) please send the Richmond Branch Branch Coordinator an email. Join us for lively discussion, Cognitive Activities & Exercise.
