“Phone” Calls for self-livening seniors

We offer FREE on-going phone support for seniors by providing the community support needed. Our regular calls provide more than the opportunity for medication reminders, check-ins and referrals to services and programs in their community. We also focus on offering clients a chance to be heard by our social workers who provide emotional support, companionship and a sense of community. We are able to be there for them even when friends and family can’t.

Interpretations services

We offer seniors who have difficulty understanding either French or English the opportunity to free translation services. Whether its immigration services, housing information, or medical appointments, the SCFS offers language aid in an effort to allow seniors to go about their day-to-day lives with relative ease.

“Living Healthy Life” Workshops

We offer a variety of workshops throughout the year providing information and education for seniors on health and wellness. We provide yearly workshops on diabetes, breast cancer screening, healthy eating, and foot care.
