Social Prescribing
Social Prescribing is a holistic approach to your health and wellness, providing non-medical services to help you stay well. We also connect you to the healthcare pathways that are right for you.
Seniors 60 years’ and older can register for the program, and our Community Connector will help them write an individualized wellness plan that connects them to non-medical services chosen to support their interests and goals.
What does a social prescription look like? It could be connecting to a walking or exercise group, meeting others who like to play cards, learning how to access food supports, finding a volunteering opportunity and much more. To register, complete the self-referral form.
Healthcare providers can submit a referral to our Community Connector by completing our Social Prescribing referral form.
Food Hampers
Our Food Hampers program is designed to support seniors by providing essential food items, ensuring they have access to nutritious meals. These hampers, delivered by caring community volunteers, include a variety of fresh produce, canned goods, and other staple items.
The program not only helps to alleviate food insecurity but also offers a warm connection to the community, reminding seniors that they are valued and supported. Through this service, seniors can maintain their health and well-being, knowing that they are not alone.
Social: Penpals
Through the exchange of letters with penpals, seniors can experience meaningful connections and build lasting relationships. This provides emotional support, companionship, and a sense of belonging, helping to combat loneliness and improve the overall well-being and quality of life for elderly individuals.
A heartfelt letter can go a long way in ensuring seniors feel connected and cared for.
