Couple re-united at Haro Park

Article from Independetly Healthy Supplement - November 2005

Frank and Kathleen Bradley lived together for more than 50 years. When Kathleen’s health care needs changed and Frank wasn’t able to meet those needs, he moved her to a residential care home while he stayed alone in their apartment.

When he found himself using Kathleen’s walker for his own mobility issues, Frank’s family knew that something needed to change.

Frank and Kathleen have been reunited at Haro Park, Vancouver’s first campus of care. Frank lives in a newly-renovated assisted living apartment, while Kathleen lives in an extended care room. When they want to spend time together, Frank helps Kathleen into her wheelchair and they go up to his apartment on the fifth floor. This way, they can enjoy spending more time with each other. And they can eat meals together in the common dining room.
