Support Services for Seniors are community-based programs promoting health and well-being while assisting seniors to remain living independently as long as possible.

Services may include:

Escorted transportation - to medical appointments, bank, store, etc.

Yard & home maintenance referrals - including a registry of fee-for-service workers who provide housekeeping, meal prep, yard work, snow removal, minor electrical and plumbing services.

Daily Hello - a phone call to seniors to ensure well being. If concerns are identified, appropriate actions will be initiated.

Information & referrals for community government services - pension information, mobility aids, adult day programs, seniors centers, housing, grocery delivery services, health care services and health education.

Equipment rentals - wheelchairs, walkers, bath stools, transfer poles, etc.
