New Guide for Seniors

Do you have questions about pensions, health, safety or taxes? Perhaps you'd like to know more about seniors' housing, travel, volunteering or second careers? For easy access to more than 120 services and programs from the Government of Canada, you can refer to “Services for Seniors”, an easy-to-read guide that offers phone numbers and Web site addresses relating to services that may be of interest to seniors and soon-to-beseniors.

The free guide is available by calling 1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232). People who have difficulty hearing may wish to call a special number for the hearing impaired (1-800-465-7735). An electronic version of the Guide is posted on-line at http://servicecanada.gc.ca/en/home.html

Dementia Pamphlet Available

Dementia, including a very common form called Alzheimer’s Disease, affects many seniors. If you, or someone you know, would like more information about this family of illnesses and where to seek help, please call the Salute! toll-free telephone line (1-866-552-2122) and ask for a free copy of our Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease pamphlet. You also can visit our website to learn more about how VAC is partnering with the Alzheimer Society on a registry program that helps people with Alzheimer’s Disease return home safely if they wander. Go to www.vac-acc.gc.ca and look under Clients and then Health Promotion.
