Betty-Jo Drent, our dedicated Assisted Living Coordinator at the Centre, is part of the Community Support Services for Seniors. Betty-Jo leads a team of Support Workers who provide compassionate, client-centred care to high-risk seniors, helping them live independently with dignity. Her role is all about empowering her team to make a positive impact in the lives of seniors ensuring that they receive the care and respect that they deserve.
With 14 years of experience with the Centre, Betty-Jo has witnessed countless heartwarming moments from supporting clients in their final moments to watching her team go above and beyond for those in need. Her passion for meaningful, community-focused work shines through every day.
When she is not at work, Betty-Jo enjoys gardening, kayaking, and spending quality time with her grandchildren. She loves the small-town feel of West Elgin - from local fairs, community gardens and farmers markets to the beautiful walking trails.
