How Good Is YOUR Memory?
Hurricane Season Is Here
If you are an isolated or semi-isolated Kings County senior, we have put together a special "Community Safety Kit" for you. To receive yours, simply call our Seniors Connection Line (902-670-0950) and speak with Robin.
Your Very Own Grow Kit
During these challenging times, we need to make sure we care for our mental health while protecting our physical health. We have partnered with Kingston Greenwood Mental Health Association and Berwick Community Gardens to make Grow Kits for seniors struggling with mental health and isolation. If you or someone you know could use an extra little pick me up, give us a call! (Contactless deliveries will be made in accordance with all public health guidelines and protocols).
Our Scam Alert Card
Check out this great partnership initiative Seniors’ Safety Programs have with the RCMP for Fraud Prevention Month! We have developed this Scam Alert Card to help raise awareness of gift card scams. If your business would like to get involved and help spread the word, Scam Alert Cards are available by calling our Program Coordinator, Michelle Parker at the Wolfville RCMP Detachment 902-542-3817.
