Seniors

What is Hello Seniors

The Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council (ESCC) brings together seniors-serving and non-profit organizations to provide frontline support to older adults aged 55 and over , helping them lead safe, healthy, and socially connected lives.

Our program is delivered by social workers, outreach workers and support staff who speak more than 20 languages combined. We are committed to providing respectful and fair help for all seniors, including those who are 2SLGBTQ+, Indigenous, or new to Canada.

How we can help you

Through Hello Seniors (formerly known as Seniors Coordinated Outreach), we provide culturally responsive services that build resilience and promote understanding.

Our team can help you in many ways, including:

  • Finding housing, food, or transportation options
  • Applying for government benefits (if eligible)
  • Exploring educational and recreation programs
  • Connecting with healthcare professionals when needed
  • Finding reputable service providers for snow removal, yard
    maintenance, light housekeeping, and personal services
  • Understanding decision-making tools and how to use them
  • Addressing complex issues like mental health and feeling alone
