Asante Canada’s Seniors Program is designed to support older adults in our community by reducing isolation and loneliness. The program provides a safe and welcoming space where seniors can connect, share information, and exchange lived experiences with one another.
Asante Canada also provides educational materials and practical information to help seniors navigate the evolving technological landscape. This includes guidance on recognizing and avoiding internet fraud, cellphone scams, and other common scams related to home renovations, snow removal, and lawn care services.
Through the Asante Canada Buddy System, seniors are connected with vetted and trusted community members who can provide support when assistance is needed.
The health-related educational series, delivered by qualified professionals within our community, helps seniors better understand aging, chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and how to access available health care resources.
Topics covered in the workshops included:
Promote Volunteerism Among Seniors - Encouraging volunteer seniors and other community members to assist seniors living alone in the community. Engage Seniors in the Community through mentorship
Expand awareness of elder abuse and financial abuse - life skills development sessions focused on recognizing and preventing elder abuse, including financial abuse.
Support Social Participation and Inclusion of Seniors - Workshop for social events and life skills development, such as digital literacy sessions.
Health and Wellness - Workshop on health screening and management of chronic pain, mental health, Nutrition and Food.
Funded by the government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Horizon Program
Asante Canada’s top priority is to support and build affordable housing for seniors, low income community members and other vulnerable individuals in our society who are at the vague of becoming homeless or can not afford living space at current market rentals.
