Details

The project aims to create a comprehensive guide to assist seniors in navigating the complex health care system. Seniors often face challenges in understanding and accessing health care services, which can lead to unmet health needs and decreased quality of life. This guide will serve as an easy-to-follow resource, providing clear and concise information on various aspects of health care relevant to seniors. It will cover topics such as mental health support, addressing common physical health concerns, understanding and utilizing mobility aids, and effective prescription management. The goal is to empower seniors with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions about their health care, ultimately improving their overall well-being. The project will involve researching existing resources, consulting with health care professionals, and compiling the information into a user-friendly format.

The primary deliverable is a well-organized, user-friendly guide tailored for seniors. This guide will include sections on mental health supports, physical health concerns, mobility aids, and prescription management.
