Seniors' Wellness Program

What is this program about?

Our Seniors Wellness Program is designed to support healthy aging for adults 65 years and older. Our goal is to help our seniors maintain their health, safety, and quality of life by providing comprehensive assessments and personalized support from our dedicated, multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals.

Who is this for?

This program is for older adults (65+) who are patients of Queen Square Doctors and are experiencing medical, psychosocial, functional, cognitive, and/or physical frailties.

How do patients access this program?

This program is available to rostered patients of Queen Square Doctors. To access this service, please speak with your family doctor to determine if it is right for you and to request a referral.

What services are included?

Depending on your individual healthcare needs, you may be connected with one or more members of our team for personalized support, including:

• Medication review with our pharmacist.

• Fall prevention and home safety guidance from our occupational therapist.

• Assessment of memory and cognitive function.

• Management of common age-related symptoms.

What can patients expect?

You will be scheduled for appointments with different members of our healthcare team, with each appointment lasting between 60 to 90 minutes on separate days. During these visits, our team will assess any risk factors that may impact your health and well-being and will work closely with you and your family to create a plan that addresses any barriers to aging well.
