Seniors Social Prescribing Program
The Seniors Social Prescribing program connects seniors to community programming, services and resources that will help them thrive and remain connected and independent for as long as possible.
Funded by The Government of British Columbia
The Seniors Social Prescribing Program is a pathway from your health practitioner’s office to our Seniors Community Connector to receive personalized help connecting with the community and managing health and well-being.
Social Prescribing works alongside clinical treatments to address people’s needs in a holistic way. Social prescription can include physical activities, social activities, nutrition/food security programs, caregiver programs, and opportunities to access services in the community.
Social Prescribing provides support by identifying what is required to improve overall well-being. Services may include, banking help, transportation, paperwork assistance, parking passes, legal advocacy and access to grants.

“Life changing. Quite honestly living in pain and so desperately alone that I didn’t want to live anymore until I started to receive the help. You assisted with finding a dentist and the funding for dental and medical care so I was no longer living in pain and alone.”
