We link people to the
services they need to
remain in the home of
their choice.
SeniorLink, since 1993,
has provided elder care
consultation to seniors
and their families to
help them maintain the
best quality of life
possible. We know that
the segment of our
population aged 60 or
older is growing faster
than any other. Of
those over age 85, more
than 40% are estimated
to be in need of some
type of in-home
assistance. Simple
tasks that one may have
performed as a matter of
course like
housekeeping, grocery
shopping, running errand
or daily personal care
may become more
difficult or impossible.
SeniorLink provides
