We just announced a new program to help low-income seniors with tasks like snow removal, light housekeeping, meal delivery and transportation!

We know that seniors want to be able to live a safe and healthy life, while staying in their own home and community for as long as possible.

That’s why Minister Kamal Khera launched Age Well at Home, a new initiative to provide practical support to help low-income seniors continue to live safely, independently, and comfortably at home!

Age Well at Home will help eligible seniors with:

  • light housekeeping (such as laundry, cleaning);
  • meal delivery and/or preparation;
  • home maintenance (such as repairs, yard work, lawn mowing);
  • transportation (such as to appointments, errands);
  • snow removal;
  • volunteer drop-offs (such as groceries, medication, pet supplies); and
  • friendly visiting in the home.

We’re looking for organizations to work with us on delivering these important programs and services for seniors. Organizations are invited to apply for the In-Home Support Pilot Projects stream and the Scaling Up for Seniors stream of the Age Well at Home initiative until July 22, 2022.
