What is the Seniors Support Navigators (SSN) Program?
The team of Seniors Supports Navigators (SSN) offers information & referrals, and outreach support to seniors in need over the age of 60 years who are experiencing age related challenges. Services are individualized and driven by psychosocial assessments and seniors centered service planning inclusive of:
Navigating and accessing community, health, and social resources (i.e. financial benefits/assistance applications, housing applications, etc.)
Emotional support to facilitate healthy coping habits focused on improving quality of life
Connection to social engagement opportunities targeting reduced isolation
Ongoing support of seniors experiencing complex psychosocial needs related to aging challenges (i.e. Deteriorating cognition with no support, mobility impairments causing safety concerns remaining home alone)
Facilitate educational and support groups
Providing appropriate referrals that are tailored to seniors and case consultation when necessary
