As well, the Government of Saskatchewan Services for Seniors website provides online access to information on a host of topics including Care at Home and Outside the Hospital, Seniors Drug Plan, Applying for a Personal Care Home Subsidy and Seniors Living in Small Communities.
The Provincial/Territorial/Federal Ministers Responsible for Seniors Forum is a collective endeavour by an intergovernmental body established to share information, discuss new and emerging issues related to seniors, and work collaboratively on key projects. The information on this site is of value to seniors, their families, caregivers and supporting seniors’ service organizations. Some of the topics found in this forum include:
- Estate planning
- Income and benefits from government programs
- Planning for possible loss of independence
- Planning for aging in place and future housing needs
- Financial abuse, frauds and scams
- Social Isolation
- Caregiving
- Age-friendly workplaces
