Community Senior Services offer community-based programs for seniors that promote health and well-being and assist seniors to continue to live independently in the community while maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.

Following are services offered throughout Southern Health-Santé Sud by a variety of community agencies:

Services to Seniors – organized by a coordinator and may vary slightly from community to community. Services may include:

• companion and/or transportation services
• home maintenance services such as laundry, housekeeping and maintenance
• information and referral assistance
• ERIK (Emergency Response Information Kit) distribution
• social and recreational activities

For more information about Services to Seniors, contact your local Senior’s Community Resource Coordinator:

Congregate Meal Programs – offer you the opportunity to enjoy a well-balanced, affordable meal in a social setting. Many programs also offer meals on wheels for those that are unable to physically attend to the program for health reasons. Volunteers are a vital part of the program.
