On-going

Way Forward Commitment:

Our government has made a commitment to support seniors to lead healthy, productive lives by remaining in their own homes and communities, and avoiding unnecessary entry into acute care or long-term care. Adopting a proactive approach to identifying and addressing potential areas of concern for seniors living at home will support seniors to remain at home longer.

In 2018-19, we will adopt guidelines for delivering a Healthy Living Assessments for Seniors program. We will pilot Healthy Living Assessments for Seniors using a single demonstration site and evaluate the program to inform further rollout.

What We’ve Accomplished:

• The Department of Health and Community Services (HCS) is currently working with Eastern Health to develop Healthy Living Assessments for Seniors.
