Get Support
Our team understands the complexities of navigating the systems and services available to older adults. With empathy and understanding, we can help you access the resources and assistance you need.
We keep a general list of housing options in Lethbridge for older adults and can help you through the process via our Seniors System Navigators if you would like a guiding hand.
LSCO In Home Support Programs are designed to provide older adults affordable and accessible support and resources to maintain holistic wellness and independence in their own homes including House Cleaning, Lawn and Snow care, Meals on Wheels, Community Connect and Drive Happiness.
We host a variety of monthly appointments: a perscribing pharmacist, a podiatrist, hearing screenings, eye glasses adjustments, Service Canada Onsite, free 15 minute lawyer consultations, single session counselling and more.
LEARN responds to and provides education, awareness, and advocacy for those at risk of or already experiencing elder abuse, as well as the community at large.
LSCO is part of the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program through Revenue Canada. Our volunteers, after being screened and trained by Revenue Canada, are able to complete simple tax returns for individuals with modest income, free of charge, during tax season which is March and April.
Most of these programs are free or subsidized based on your income. Contact the general intake line if you are unsure what programs are right for you.
