Hallmarks of the Surrey model include:
- Engagement of older adults as volunteers in the provision of services. Our “neighbor-helping-neighbor” philosophy helps both the person providing service and the person helped
- Availability of interrelated health, housing and transportation services in a “one-stop shopping” model
- Access to a range of social, educational and wellness services that address varying capabilities and interests
- Assistance and advocacy for seniors who must make changes to their financial, social, and other living arrangements
- Community support to underwrite home care subsidies, meals in the Surrey Café, health and wellness programs, and much more, so that no-one is turned away due to an inability to pay.
