Senior Community Services

Our Senior Community Services support older adults who experience loneliness or social isolation. We help seniors remain safe, connected, and independent within their community by fostering meaningful relationships, emotional well-being, and active daily living.

1. Friendly Visiting

Our Friendly Visiting program connects seniors with trained volunteers for regular, one-on-one visits.
Through weekly visits at the client’s home or a mutually agreed location, volunteers offer companionship, emotional support, and a reassuring presence.
Volunteers also help connect seniors to relevant community resources when needed. Clients and volunteers are thoughtfully matched based on shared interests, location, and personal preferences to build genuine and lasting relationships.

2. Telephone Reassurance

For seniors who have limited social contact, trained volunteers provide scheduled regular phone calls to check in and offer friendly conversation. These calls help reduce feelings of isolation, promote emotional well-being, and provide gentle reassurance.
When appropriate, volunteers share information about local services that support safety and independent living.
Volunteer-client matching is based on common interests and backgrounds to encourage comfortable and meaningful communication.

3. Senior Classes (Social Groups)

We offer a variety of free group activities, including singing, arts and crafts, chair exercises, and cognitive wellness workshops. These programs create opportunities for seniors to socialize, stay mentally active, and strengthen their sense of belonging within the community.
Our classes are designed to help seniors rediscover joy, confidence, and vitality in everyday life.

Seniors may apply directly or be referred by community agencies, social workers, healthcare professionals, family members, or friends. Once an application is received, a staff member will contact the applicant to arrange an intake consultation and assessment.

All volunteers are carefully screened, trained, and supervised in accordance with Ontario’s legal and ethical standards. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and trustworthy service that seniors and their families can rely on.
