Seniors Guide to Services
Access Ability - Seniors Guide to Services
Seniors are the fastest growing segment of our population as the post-war baby boom population reaches retirement. Knowing how to access services for seniors can be challenging. Access Ability answers some of the most common questions about programs and services available in the Brantford-Brant area for older adults. The Guide contains useful information about safety, health promotion, disease prevention, emergency preparedness, and healthy living. The section “Senior Safety – Knowledge is your best Defense!” has been prepared in an effort to help you protect yourself from fraud.
While this guide is not a comprehensive resource for people with disabilities, we recognize that seniors make up a significant proportion of the community in this category and, therefore have included resource listings of interest for seniors and caregivers.
For information on federal disability programs go to your nearest Service Canada office, 58 Dalhousie Street, Brantford, and ask for the book title Supporting Persons with Disabilities, Frequently Asked Questions, published by Social Development Canada.
