LinkAGE is a social prescribing service for older adults.
How It Works
Health care providers can refer older adults to LinkAGE. The LinkAGE Social Prescribing Navigator receives these referrals and assists older adults to access appropriate local programs and services to support their health and wellness. These programs and services might include physical or social activities, mental health or nutrition supports, and more.
Eligibility
You may be eligible if you are:
- 55 years of age or older
- Currently living in the West End, Coal Harbour or Yaletown neighbourhood of Vancouver
For more information, please contact Emily Lonsdale (LinkAGE Social Prescribing Navigator) at our Barclay Manor location at health@wesn.ca or 604-669-5051 x7.
This service is offered in collaboration with the Vancouver Division of Family Practice, Vancouver Coastal Health Three Bridges Community Health Centre and City Centre Urgent Primary Care Centre, local medical clinics, and other local community programs and services for older adults.
This service is funded by the Government of B.C. through the United Way of the Lower Mainland.
