About Us

Renfrew and Area Seniors’ Home Support has been proud to serve seniors and adults with disabilities in the Town of Renfrew and surrounding areas since April 1987 providing them with non-medical services to help them remain independent in their homes for as long as possible. Volunteers assist staff in providing services, governance through our Board of Directors and raising funds to meet our budgetary requirements.
