Navigating Forward Together – York Region’s Plan to Support Seniors
Description

The Regional Municipality of York is facing unprecedented growth, with the number of seniors living across our communities expected to double over the next 30 years. Since implementing its original York Region Seniors Strategy in 2016, the Region has been working collaboratively with local municipalities and community organizations serving seniors to leverage opportunities for new partnerships and innovative solutions to support seniors across a broad health and social care continuum. The proposed 2024 to 2027 York Region Plan to Support Seniors looks at the changing senior population, defines the Region’s role in serving seniors and sets the course for action to best support the aging population. This session will share on the research and engagement process used to inform the updated proposed Plan and the key priorities aimed at enhancing seniors health and program knowledge, integrating services, streamlining navigation of services, and improving coordination across health and social care systems.
