We have a responsibility to care for Canadians as they age.

Through the Age Well at Home initiative, we’re supporting seniors in Edmonton and ensuring they have what they need to live on their own terms and stay at home with their loved ones for as long as they want.

[Kamal Khera 🇨��� @HonKamalKhera]

When I say we’re delivering practical solutions for seniors I mean it - literally!

Thanks to our $90M Age Well at Home Initiative, and the work of fantastic seniors serving organizations like @drivehappy_ab more seniors, like Maria, will be able to age in their own homes.

[Employment and Social Development Canada @ESDC_GC]

🚨 The Minister of Seniors, Kamal Khera, was in Edmonton today to make an #AgeWellAtHome announcement to help seniors in Alberta and Saskatchewan to age in their own homes for as long as possible!

🚨Exciting News🚨 All seniors should have the chance to age at home for as long as possible. And in order to do that sometimes all they need is just a little bit of help. In #Alberta, we announced $1.68M funding, to provide seniors like Maria with that help. 1/3

Sage is excited to announce a new initiative presented by @ServusCU in collaboration with the @EFCL, @agefriendlyYEG, and communities supporting healthy aging in their neighbourhoods: Seniors Saturday!

[Jo-Anne Wright for Ward Sspomitapi @joannewrightyeg]

@DriveHappy_ab provides low-cost assisted transportation to Albertan seniors. Friendly volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to take older adults wherever they need to go, be it a grocery store, a medical facility, a rec centre, or a loved one’s home.
