Helping seniors live independently in their home.

The Better at Home Program provides non-medical services to any senior who wants to live independently in their home and community, while enjoying a healthy, active lifestyle. DIVERSEcity, one of several non-profit organizations delivering the program across the province, focuses on the Newton area of Surrey.

We offer many fee-based service options and some free services to support seniors to continue to live independently, including:

Transportation – Our volunteers use their own vehicles to drive clients to and from their homes to various appointments or community events.

Household help – Volunteers or contractors help clients with light housekeeping tasks such as changing light bulbs, doing dishes, mowing lawns, house cleaning and dusting.

Accompaniment and friendly visiting – Volunteers accompany seniors in their daily activities, such as taking a walk or completing crosswords.

Information and referrals – Our Navigation and Peer Support Coordinator provides information and referral services for low-income, higher needs seniors who require one-to-one support to access needed services and government benefits.

Social activities – Join activities and events that connect seniors to their community.
