Assists seniors ages 55 and older who are in general good health, but require help with non-medical daily tasks to maintain independent living within their homes and remain connected to their communities as long as possible. Services include grocery shopping, light housekeeping and yard work, minor home maintenance, group excursions, and friendly visits. Also provides transportation to and from appointments, and social and recreational activities when volunteers available; advance notice is required, particularly for an off-island trip. Van excursion outings take small groups to places and events on and off island. Fees are charged for some services on a sliding scale (based on income). Also provides free peer counselling by trained senior volunteers. Office hours are 9 am to 4 pm Monday to Friday. Funded by Ministry of Health (MOH) and managed by United Way British Columbia (UWBC).
