Personal help

Do you need personal help?
Do you need help getting started or understanding which document is right for you or for an adult you are helping?
Do you have questions about your role as a representative or monitor?

Nidus is offering personal help. We can provide information information, assistance, and practical tips. We do not give legal advice. Thanks to a one-time grant from the Ministry of Health, we are able to offer help by phone to seniors and long-term care.

Personal help can:

  • answer your questions about personal planning;
  • help you determine which documents you need and where to get the legal forms;
  • provide tips for using a Representation Agreement at the bank, hospital or government agency.

“Thank goodness I asked for help…I read information on the website but there is so much more to understand. I would have wasted money and time without this help.”

“The extra tips for our situation are invaluable. Nidus is truly the expert on the practical as well as the legal issues.”

HOW TO REQUEST PERSONAL HELP – read steps below

During the Covid-19 pandemic, there is more emphasis on our online services. The Resource Centre website is geared to self-help. Thanks to a specific grant, Nidus is offering free personal help by phone to seniors and long-term care. Where possible,  we provide information and tips by email to give you faster and direct answers.
 

1. Email info@nidus.ca

2. Give some background on the need so we can try and answer the question. If appropriate, we will match you up to resource people best able to help by phone.

3. You can email for someone who does not have a computer or email.

ATTEND A WEBINAR
The best way to get started is to attend a free online presentation. It is interactive with time for question & answer. This may be all the help you need. Nidus has lots of self-help resources.

Nidus provides free webinars (online presentations) each fall (usually October). As time allows, we may offer webinars at other times of the year. See Presentations under Get Help (top menu bar) and scroll down to see listings of upcoming presentations.
