Home Visits – Who Are They For?

Transportation issues?

Don’t feel comfortable driving any more? Prefer not to go out in bad weather?

Trouble getting around because of mobility issues?  Our home visits may be for you!

  • We realize that many Calgary patients have limited access to transportation, and that getting in to see us for high quality hearing care services can be a
  • challenge for them, particularly when there are weather concerns or because they have mobility issues from health concerns.
  • If you or your family member has been waiting to improve their hearing because of difficulties with mobility or getting to our clinic, you will be happy to know that we NOW OFFER home visits to patients.
  • We also come to Canmore approximately once per month to provide hearing care services. We are kindly hosted by St. Michael’s church and donate our appointment fees to support the excellent community events that they support.
WHY ARE WE PROVIDING THIS SERVICE?
  • We feel it is important to reduce the barriers for our patients to access high quality hearing healthcare so we invested in portable equipment for both evaluating hearing thoroughly and providing hearing aid fittings and follow up.
  • Family members have told us they are grateful for these mobile services as it can take some of the load off of them for transporting their family to and from the multiple appointments that their loved one requires to get the proper follow up care that they may need
OUR TRACK RECORD
  • We have been chosen as one of a select small group of high quality healthcare providers to deliver services to each of Silvera’s communities
  • We have police clearances for the vulnerable population of seniors from the City of Calgary.

HOW IT WORKS
  • Call us to arrange an appointment as let us know that you are interested in a home visit.
  • Elan, one of our experienced clinicians, will arrange to visit you in your home or seniors residence.
  • If you live in a Silvera Community, speak with the front desk staff to find out when he is coming or give our offices a call and we are happy to let you know when he can arrange to be there next.
  • If you live in a different agency seniors residence, let us know and we will arrange to visit you there and we often provide an orientation of our services to the management and staff prior to them allowing us access.
  • We bring specialized portable equipment into your home and do a thorough hearing exam and can then discuss your results of your test with you.
  • If hearing aids are part of the recommended treatment plan for you, we can provide those services to you in your home as well.

Finally, through our ongoing work in the community at community events and educational seminars, we have made excellent contacts who provide other mobile healthcare services in the dental hygiene, denture, homecare and senior planning areas if you need assistance in these areas but have trouble getting out of your place of residence to access these services.
