COMMUNITYRESOURCEBOOK

1

This booklet is a list of resources to assist adult stroke survivors and their caregivers to find community agencies that provide

direct service or the link to other programs that support re-integration into the community. As it is impossible to list all

community services in the booklet, healthcare providers across the continuum of care can provide you with additional resource information to meet your needs.

The material contained in this booklet is for information

purposes only. It should not be used as a substitute for the medical advice, recommendation or treatment of a qualified healthcare provider. Further, the West GTA Stroke Network

does not accept responsibility for the services described in the booklet or for any errors or omissions.

We acknowledge with thanks permission from the Central South Stroke Network for use of the cover design.

The most recently updated booklet can be found on the

following website www.westgtastroke.ca
