Seniors living in the Miramichi region can sign up for the Seniors Health, Well-being and Home Safety Review, a program designed to help them remain independent longer. The review connects seniors with important programs and services in their communities. Almost 750 seniors have signed-up for the review, which sees a trained individual conduct a 90-minute home visit to teach seniors about program in their community that can help them in their daily lives. The information gathered during the review is used to create a personalized action plan to offer suggestions for maintaining a healthy, active and independent lifestyle. Eligible seniors can also apply for $1,500 in assistance to do minor in-home repairs that will improve their mobility or independence. The program is already established in the Saint John, Restigouche and Fredericton regions, while Moncton and Chaleur regions will roll out the program in December and Edmundston and the Acadian Peninsula regions will start the program in March 2018.
