Greater Victoria Independent Living for the Elderly, Resources.

Many people are striving to become or remain totally independent.

The aging and elderly are no exception to that. Fortunately, In Greater Victoria there are many programs and services to provide the aging (and others) a certain degree of independence they need.

In Greater Victoria Organizations like ;

• VIHA http://www.viha.ca/
  
• Beacon Community Services http://www.beaconcs.ca/
  
• Seniors Serving Seniors http://www.seniorsservingseniors.bc.ca/index.asp
  
• Services Canada http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/home.shtml
  
• BC Provincial Government (seniors site) http://www.seniorsbc.ca/
• EFCN http://efcn.ca/
  

Are just a few of the many services that are here for the Greater Victoria aging and their families to support and assist you and your family and ensure that you are able to access any assistance you may need or require, in an age appropriate manner.

Unfortunately, many of our aging friends, neighbours and family members, will wait to seek assistance until an emergency has occurred, often with limited ability to receive the immediate assistance that is needed at the time.... (a little preparation can and often is a huge benefit, when seeking assistance).

We urge all of us to look around and see if you know of anyone that may need a little assistance to sustain their independence, and point them in the right direction...

The Above list is far from Complete but will offer you the ability to get to the resources you and or a loved one may need.....

If in Doubt Talk to Peter or Linda Pfann and we will gladly point you in the right direction, as we have many years of experience with finding the right resources for many of the challenges our Aging Friends, Family and Clients are dealing with....
