Community Connector

Funded by the Government of British Columbia and the United Way - Community Connectors use Social Prescribing to offer non-medical support by connecting older adults to local community services and activities. We also offer ongoing support in navigating systems to improve health and well being.

We support seniors, our elders and elderly in their mental and emotional wellbeing through purposeful social activities that connect them to the community, where they can share the learnings of a lifetime.

  • Older Adults

  • Nakusp, Summit Lake, Burton, Fauquier or Edgewood

  • Experiencing, or at risk of: frailty; social isolation and/or loneliness; barriers to accessing community based resources; frequent trips to primary care or ER

Referrals from:

  • Self-referral

  • Friends, family, & community members

  • Health care providers
