WHAT IS THE COUNCIL
ON AGING ? Our
Mission
The Council on Aging is a
non-profit charitable organization dedicated to
enhancing the quality of life of all seniors in the Townships
of North, Central, and South Frontenac, the Frontenac Islands
and the City of Kingston. We also operate Elder Abuse
Prevention Services as a standing committee of the Council on
Aging.
The Council works to:
- Participate in reseach, planning and coordination of
services for seniors
- Prevent and address elder abuse through Peer Support and
community education
- Research and develop programs to address issues arising
from the aging of our community;
- Share information on issues of concern to seniors
- Make recommendations to decision makers
- Inform the general public about issues surrounding our
aging population
- Support and encourage seniors to voice issues and
concerns to all levels of government and to the general
public.
What We Do:
We consult and network
co-operatively with other organizations in order to
help seniors and their caregivers. From these consultations we
develop programmes and pilot projects to assist in healthy
aging.
We organize studies, lead workshops and
make presentations on issues such as elder abuse,
safe and secure aging and accessibility to health care.
Through our Peer Support volunteers, we
provide support and information for those seniors
whose financial, emotional and/or physical safety may be
compromised.
We research topics of
concern to seniors and prepare informative reports
and presentations to seniors, their families, future seniors,
businesses, caregivers, service providers, policy makers and
organizations.
We produce and distribute a
wide range of educational materials about aging and
seniors' issues. We collect information and resources and make
them available to members of our community. Visit our library
or look for Seniors Shine from The Kingston Whig-Standard in
June for a comprehensive array of current
information.
We also consult and make recommendations
to a wide variety of decision makers in government, health
care, and the community.
