Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day and this year, the focus is on inclusion. Did you know that more than 30% of Canadian seniors are at risk for being socially isolated? Social isolation increases seniors' risk for being abused and it's our responsibility as a community to meaningfully include older adults. 

The Camrose PCN has programming and partners that help seniors connect socially:

- Seniors' Centre Without Walls

- Preventing Elder Abuse Video

- Alberta Elder Abuse Awareness Council

- Programming, such as:

• our Exercise Specialist, whose classes help seniors exercise appropriately while meeting new friends: https://camrosepcn.com/exercise-specialist
• our Geriatric Assessment Program, which supports seniors with memory issues and fall risks to keep them in their homes longer
• our Palliative & End of Life Care Navigator Program, which helps people with life-limiting conditions access the care that they need
