Seniors Senior Wellness Centres Senior Wellness Centres (SWCs) are community-run programs that aim to maintain and improve the health and well-being of English-speaking seniors, increase access to knowledge of health and social services, and decrease social isolation through purposeful and informed programming. 2021 - 2023 Health education and promotion for seniors: A focus on prevention This initiative supports over 30 English-speaking organizations across the province of Quebec, implementing face-to face and virtual health promotion activities to isolated English-speaking seniors. The main goal of these centres is to break down social isolation, increase access to information in English, and increase autonomy and well-being. What makes a SWC unique: Community-led and cost effective SWCs are an innovative response by community organizations to address a gap in services for seniors. Formal and informal collaborations are sought out and developed with health and social services professionals. Linguistically & culturally adapted SWCs are adapted to the regional and local needs and realities of English-speaking seniors. They’re flexible, adaptable, inclusive and adopt a broad and multifaceted approach to improving overall health and well-being. No strict criteria for participation SWCs are inclusive of all seniors, and include outreach to vulnerable isolated elderly individuals. There’s no specific criteria for participation.
