About This Cause
Our vision is a community where seniors live with dignity in a safe, comfortable, and healthy home. Seniors Services Society of BC offers over fifty years of experience serving seniors in New Westminster, Metro Vancouver, and around B.C. SSSBC provides support programs and information for seniors in two primary areas: Support Services for seniors living in New Westminster; Housing Services for seniors province-wide. We serve seniors 60+ or less than 60 with a disability who experience health conditions, physical impairments, poor mental health, and financial or social barriers, and as a result, are at high risk of social isolation, poor nutrition, homelessness, and limited access to health information. The Seniors Services Society offers unique programs to frail and isolated seniors. We aim to support seniors to age in place with dignity, avoid costly facility care and remain active in their community. Our society has efficient, well-organized programs, experienced staff, over 50 trained volunteers, and a client base of over 2500 vulnerable seniors. OVERVIEW OF OUR PROGRAMS: Housing Services: At SSSBC, we have a team of Seniors Housing Navigation Specialists dedicated to offering personalized information and support for seniors' housing in Metro Vancouver. Our specialists provide individualized assistance to clients who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. We understand the urgent need for housing solutions, which is why we offer one-on-one housing outreach to help seniors find suitable accommodations. Additionally, we have a Temporary Housing Program specifically designed to provide short-term accommodation to independent homeless seniors. This unique program aims to offer immediate relief and support to those in need, ensuring that they have a safe place to stay while we work towards finding more permanent housing solutions. We are committed to addressing the housing challenges faced by seniors in our community and providing them with the assistance they require to secure stable and suitable living arrangements. Support Services: At SSSBC, we offer a wide array of support services designed to promote independence and enhance the well-being of seniors in the community. Our programs cater to various needs and include the following: Meals Delivery: We provide convenient meal delivery services, ensuring that seniors have access to nutritious and delicious meals without the hassle of cooking.
