Social Prescribing
Support for Older Adults
Parkgate Society is a part of a government test project called Social Prescribing. This is a non-clinical method of support for seniors in the community. We will review any challenges that may be affecting the senior’s health and we will help them gain access to programs and services that best meet their specific needs.
We create opportunities for older adults to meet for fitness, social games, over a meal and to find support. We address the need for seniors to stay connected and healthy in the community through a variety of programs and services. Dig into this website to find out what programs and services fit your lifestyle, and get connected with over 400 seniors who attend programs weekly.
For all social prescribing inquiries, please contact 604.924.7300 ext. 2
Meet Alex – Parkgate’s Community Connector
Alex grew up on the North Shore, where her love for the outdoors and community shaped her path. After facing her own health challenges, she was inspired to help others navigate our systems.
Now, as Parkgate Society’s Community Connector, Alex supports seniors by listening to their stories and connecting them with programs and services that meet their needs. Her approach is both personal and hands-on; she doesn’t just refer people and walk away; she follows up, checks in, and helps every step of the way.
