What is the Seniors’ WrapAround Program?
Seniors’ WrapAround is a program for immigrant and Francophone seniors and other vulnerable individuals over age 55 who feel alone in the community and who might have some problems with their health.
The WrapAround team understands that being a senior in a new community can be difficult, especially if you are adjusting to the culture and language in a new country. You may feel as though your life depends on others and you can’t make your own decisions or do simple things for yourself. Activities such as visiting friends or family, shopping, or attending religious services may seem difficult or stressful. You may have worries about your health, your home, your neighbourhood, or about how to sign up for services.
The WrapAround program will help you by bringing together a supportive team of family members, community members and professionals. This team will help you with the areas of your life that worry you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does WrapAround work?
The London InterCommunity Health Centre has WrapAround staff that are called Facilitators. These Facilitators are trained to help you by developing a personal action plan. This plan will start with a meeting where you and your Facilitator will identify the areas of your life where you need support. Your Facilitator will then help you to set up a support team. Together with your team, you will work to improve these areas, helping you to feel better and live with dignity
Why might WrapAround be good for me?
WrapAround will make community services easier to find and easier to use. Your plan will be based on your own desire to improve your quality of life. Your WrapAround team will help you to take an active role in your family, community, and health care. By having a plan in place, it will be easier for you and your family members or closest friends to access services that may help you
