Senior Support

Senior Supports are provided for older clients, or clients who have needs that closely resemble those of an older person, who desire a lifestyle consistent with that of the community's population of similar age or circumstances. This support is intended to facilitate independence and promote community inclusion as well as prevent isolation. Senior Supports consist of a variety of activities that are designed to assist the client in maintaining skills and stimulating social interactions with others. The activities are individualized and may occur in any community setting, including the client's place of residence.
