Seniors Services and Social / Recreational
Provided by City of New Westminster
The Social Prescribing Program supports seniors aged 65 plus to access non-clinical, community-based services to prevent or delay frailty by fostering resilience and social support using a comprehensive, strength-based approach.
A local seniors' community connector with the Social Prescribing program meets with clients to help develop a personalized wellness plan to support a healthy aging journey. They connect these seniors with available community resources and liaise with your family practitioner for additional support.
