Government launches program and services guide for seniors

Minister of Children, Seniors and Social Development Paul Pike has announced the launch of a Guide to Provincial Government Programs and Services to help seniors across Newfoundland and Labrador.

The online resource and booklet is designed to provide information on programs, services, and topics that may be of interest to seniors and aging adults throughout the province. Separated into eight sections, seniors will now have easier access when looking for information related to health services, financial help, housing and shelter supports.

The guide will also be available to seniors, aging adults and their families from a variety of organizations across the province, such as SeniorsNL.

Pike said, “I am pleased to present this guide as an important resource for seniors and older adults in our province. Our government is focused on supporting seniors to remain healthy, active and engaged in age-friendly and dementia-friendly communities.”
