The results of a community consultation with seniors in Vancouvers West End will be presented this week.
For two months, Better at Home has sought the insights and perspectives of older residents in the community on existing and needed home support services for individual seniors. The findings will help the United Way create a program specifically tailored to meet the needs of seniors in the West End.
Better at Home is a program that helps seniors with day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live independently in their own homes while remaining connected to their communities.
Funded by the BC government and managed by the United Way of the Lower Mainland, Better at Home services range from friendly visiting, light yard work, and light housekeeping to transportation and grocery shopping.
Residents of the West End community are invited to the presentation (Feb. 8, 10am to 2pm at the Central Presbyterian Church at 1155 Thurlow) to learn about the needs in the community for seniors.
