Calgary Seniors' Resource Society

Calgary Seniors exists to care for and enrich the lives of seniors, guided by our vision of inclusive, connected communities where everyone, no matter their age, can thrive, and our mission to create, coordinate, and provide personalized, client-centered support that helps older adults navigate their aging journey with confidence. Through our Social Work Department, we deliver community-based social work support that connects isolated seniors to resources, helps them age in place, and provides one-on-one assistance to navigate complex systems. Programs such as SeniorConnect, In Place, and Outreach focus on identifying and supporting at-risk seniors, preventing and stabilizing crises, and ensuring seniors with limited natural supports can safely remain in their homes. Social workers act as anchors, offering guidance, advocacy, and practical supports such as emergency food and medical supplies.

Our Seniors Social Supports Department brings people together through caring, volunteer-driven programs that reduce loneliness and build meaningful connections. Volunteers provide companionship, practical assistance, and reassurance through programs including Friendly Visiting, Phone Friends, Shopping Companion, Caregiver Kindness, and Cheer Mail, as well as practical supports like Essential Transportation, Pet Assist, Practical Kindness, and Kind Neighbour. These programs are designed with heart and purpose, whether offering a friendly call, help with errands, or transportation to medical appointments, while fostering mutually enriching relationships between seniors and volunteers. Together, our programs strengthen community, enhance well-being, and ensure seniors feel connected, supported, and valued.
