Services to Seniors
Services are available throughout the Province of Manitoba. These community-based programs are designed to assist seniors who wish to maintain their independent living status in their own homes and those people whose independence has been compromised. All of the Services to Seniors programs are provided through the combined efforts of dedicated volunteers, feefor- service workers and the Services to Seniors staff. Each volunteer or fee-for-service worker has been reference-checked and the fees are regulated by the Two Rivers Seniors Resource Council Inc. All services and programs are provided with confidentiality, keeping the individuals’ needs in mind.
