Social Prescribing Community Connector
Social prescribing can help improve overall wellbeing and independence. Your Social Prescribing Community Connector can help you find and access the right supports while checking in with you along the way so you aren't alone. They can also help you decide how to improve your wellbeing and find supports to meet your needs.
Better at Home Services
Better at Home is a provincial program that helps seniors with non-medical day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live independently in their own homes and remain connected to their communities. Some services are offered for free and provided by volunteers and staff from non-profit organizations. Services may have fees according to a sliding scale that is based on your income and are provided by qualified professionals. Better at Home services vary from community to community.
