Radiant Care is honoured to be selected as the recipient of Brock University’s 2020 and 2021 Faculty of Applied Health Sciences Outstanding Community Partner Award. We are grateful for the partnership we have with Brock University. We are pleased to train and equip today’s students through innovative programs and experiences to meet current and projected demand for jobs within this sector.

Over the years, we have had students from the Nursing, Recreation & Leisure Studies, Kinesiology, and Health Sciences Departments attend clinical and research placements at Radiant Care. We have really enjoyed providing opportunities like this to today’s students, and our residents have benefited from these placements by enhanced levels of direct support and the opportunity to participate in new activities and initiatives. In some cases, placement students have been hired on as full- or part-time employees following placement.

Despite the ongoing pandemic and uncertainty of the past year, the partnership between Brock University and Radiant Care has continued to thrive, with new research and experiential education opportunities. Most recently, RECL 3P12 Leisure & Aging students facilitated video chats with some our Tabor Manor long-term care residents to learn about their life history and interests, and to prepare special care packages based on this information. Our residents were excited to make these social connections and build new friendships, and they were absolutely thrilled to receive such thoughtful and personalized care packages. We are grateful to participate in these mutually beneficial experiences with Brock students and faculty.

Thank you to the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences for honouring Radiant Care with this award at this year’s Community Partners Virtual Recognition Reception. We look forward to continuing our growing partnership in the months and years to come.
