â&#x20AC;˘ Resources for Langley Seniors

20363 - 65th h Avenue, A LLangley, BC langleyseniorsvillage.com

In-home services in Langley Aging in place is possible for many people, given a helping hand by the community. When Canadians retire, they usually hope to stay in their own homes for years, if not decades. As mobility and health issues creep in over the years, it can seem like the only choice is to give up and move in with relatives or into a seniors care home. However, there is a wide variety of home care services, both private and public, offered around the Lower Mainland and in Langley. “Sometimes we’re the ﬁrst place that people come on their journey of ﬁnding out what’s available,” said Janice McTaggart of the Langley Seniors Resource Centre. One of the biggest areas of home care is non-medical help: aid with driving too and from appointments, a bit of house cleaning, or grocery shopping. The Seniors Centre either provides or can link people to all those services, as well as its Telephone Buddy program. The Better At Home program is another major resource, offering services including minor home repairs, snow shovelling, and light yard work. Better At Home is provincially funded and managed by the United Way, with services provided by local organizations around the province. Some seemingly simple tasks, if they can be handled for seniors, allow them to live otherwise independently. “One of the hardest things for people to do is

make their bed,” said McTaggart. The big arm motions, stretches, and bending can make getting sheets on and off difﬁcult. Different issues may require different levels or types of help. McTaggart suggests seniors check in the Yellow Pages under categories like “home help,” “care aides,” and “nursing.” They can also ﬁnd out more through Fraser Health, their local library, or from their doctor.

Resources for Langley Seniors •

Directory of resources for seniors in Langley “Senior” doesn’t mean much on its own. It’s a term that can be deﬁned in many ways, depending on the context. For some people, it’s a title earned by age – we deﬁne it here as 55+. For many, it’s a title of honour. Look around you, and you’ll see the “seniors” who, each according to their particular skills and abilities, built families, neighbourhoods, businesses. As they challenged themselves with their everyday pursuits, they built Langley and our surrounding communities. Some literally built Langley’s buildings and roads infrastructure. Seniors range from people who worked a lifetime to achieve their goals to those who are still working to achieve those goals. Just as our seniors all have something to offer to their community, Langley is a community that has a great deal to offer to its seniors. With the help of local volunteer groups, service associations, the wide variety of local seniors’ service providers, and seniors themselves, the Langley Advance offers this directory as a guide to seniors seeking information about services available to them in their own community. Some will be appreciative of the guides to health, legal, or support services, while others will enjoy browsing through the volunteer section or seek out Langley’s many recreational or leisure activities. Our thanks to all who made this directory possible – and especially, our thanks to our seniors. 4

2014 BC Seniors Games Langley Township and City are hosting the games scheduled to take place Sept. 9-13, 2014. The event is expected to draw 4,000 people, mostly competitors who will take part in 26 sports at various local venues. Events range from swimming to less strenuous endeavours such as bridge. Competition is open to those 55 years of age and older. The cost of putting on the Seniors Games is expected to be about $300,000, including $85,000 from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, $105,000 coming from participant registration fees, and $60,000 from the City and Township. The rest is made up by contributions. In return, the economic activity expected to be generated by the Games is estimated at about $2 million.
