Seniors’ Support WorkerBased on the individual's needs, the Seniors Support Worker (a no-fee service) provides support, guidance and advocacy on a range of seniors-related issues and concerns. The Seniors' Worker matches needs and eligibility to available services which, in turn, maximizes independence.
A senior living independently often needs assistance in finding someone to:
- Do home maintenance jobs
- Help with filling in government forms
- Assist with changing accommodation
- Facilitate home health support and caregiver relief
- Assist someone who feels they are victims of elder abuse
FICS partners with other organizations to provide health and safety education. |

SENDIAL PROGRAM
The Sendial Program was created to help seniors who are unable to leave their homes to shop for themselves because of a disability, an inability to walk, a recent operation or difficulty navigating stairs – to name a few reasons.
A volunteer will call you at your home, talk with you, get a list of the groceries you need. The next day, a volunteer will shop for your groceries and deliver them to your house. You will pay the volunteer by cheque, the amount of your groceries when they deliver them. The cheque should be made out to Sobeys.
IS THERE A COST TO THIS SERVICE?
There is a $5.00 delivery charge that will be billed by Flamborough Information and Community Services.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR THE SENDIAL PROGRAM?
Sendial is available as either an ongoing or limited service, depending on your circumstances.
- Are you unable to leave your home?
- Are you unable to drive?
- Do you have difficulty walking for more than 30 minutes?
- Did you recently have an operation and are unable to leave the home?
