Healthy Aging by United Way aims to help seniors stay at home and in their communities for longer by supporting older adults to be socially connected, live healthy lifestyles, and maintain their independence. United Way’s investments that support universal seniors’ wellness are bolstered by the larger Community-Based Seniors’ Services Sector, which includes municipal governments and non-profit organizations that provide programming to older adults and their families. Together we are paving the way towards an integrated, older adult-centred model of care in B.C. We are achieving this, in part, through the creation of provincial working groups and communities of practice in areas such as housing, nutritional supports, rural communities, and re-imaging aging.
Some work and meetings will take place at the United Way Provincial Office located in Burnaby, B.C. However, most work will be performed remotely.
