In partnership with the United Way, we help older adults in Abbotsford continue living independently in their own homes by providing simple, non-medical home support services such as light housekeeping, light yard maintenance, and transportation for errands. Fees for service are based on income.
CareShare - Senior Caregivers Support Program
The CareShare – Senior Caregivers Support Program is for Seniors 55+ taking care of other adults such as parents, partners, and siblings.
The program supports seniors and their loved ones through education, wellness, and recreation, including sessions with the Alzheimer Society of BC on dementia and dementia friendly communities.
Caregivers take part in information sessions on topics such as communication, safety, caregiving tools, and navigating resources.
This gives caregivers time to step back and recharge, while their loved ones take part in engaging activities led by volunteers trained in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of BC.
Meals on Wheels
We provide both fresh and frozen healthy meal options to individuals who are unable to shop or prepare meals for themselves, which enables them to stay in their homes longer.
Medical Transportation
Volunteers provide transportation to medical appointments from Abbotsford to neighboring communities.
