Senior Assistance
Honoring Our Elders With Dignity, Care, and Compassion
At Shekinah Glory Community Outreach, we believe our seniors deserve to age with dignity, peace, and the assurance that they are not forgotten. Our Senior Assistance Program is designed to meet both the physical and emotional needs of older adults in our community — especially those living alone, on fixed incomes, or without nearby family.
Through a combination of nutritional support, light housekeeping services, and community connection, we help our elders remain safe, nourished, and uplifted in their own homes..
Many seniors in our community live with limited mobility, financial hardship, or social isolation. Our program not only lightens their daily burdens — it affirms their value and helps them maintain their independence with dignity.
Our Senior Assistance Program is currently offered three days a week and is available to seniors based on need and availability of workers and volunteers. Referrals from family, caregivers, churches, or community workers are welcome.
“Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.” – Psalm 71:9
How To Receive Services
Light-Duty Household Cleaning
We provide in-home cleaning services to eligible seniors a minimum of three times per week. Our trained and compassionate team members assist with tasks that help seniors maintain a safe and comfortable living space — without the physical strain.
Services include:
Sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming floors
Dusting and wiping down surfaces
Cleaning bathrooms and kitchens
Washing dishes or light laundry
Tidying and light organizing
These services are not just about cleanliness — they also promote safety and reduce the risk of falls, illness, and isolation.
Companionship & Wellness Checks
Every visit is more than a drop-in. We take time to check in, engage in light conversation, and ensure each senior is doing well emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We offer gentle spiritual support for seniors who wish to remain connected to their faith. This includes:
Encouragement cards and devotionals
Opportunities to join groups
Community events where seniors are honoured and celebrated
