By being aware and working together, we can address social isolation of seniors.

There are several ways to find support for seniors who may be socially isolated:

• Call the Seniors Information Phone Line to get information and referrals to community and government programs/services in Edmonton. Dial 2-1-1 and press 2 to reach the Seniors Information Phone Line.
• Use the resources listed on our Get Connected page
• Contact the organizations that are part of the Pan-Edmonton Group Addressing Social Isolation of Seniors (PEGASIS) network.

We’re developing tip sheets and other resources for families, friends, neighbours and helping professionals who want to support seniors who may be socially isolated. Please check back again.

If you or your organization wants to be a part of a community of support and connection, contact Tim Henderson, Project Manager for the Pan-Edmonton Group Addressing Social Isolation of Seniors at [email protected].

We are passionate about creating a community where we can effectively reduce social isolation in Edmonton. If you have ideas, suggestions, or have heard of other community initiatives that are working towards our goal, please share them by commenting below. Your contribution may help connect a senior in need.
