Senior Resources

The Peel Elder Abuse Support Program is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The Peel Elder Abuse Support Program provides telephone support and information 24/7 to seniors or anyone in the community experiencing elder abuse, or for anyone who knows someone who is being mistreated. When deemed appropriate, and with client consent, Spectra will connect clients to a Family Services of Peel outreach worker. Together Spectra Helpline and Family Services of Peel are working to promote awareness, discontinue elder abuse, and to keep people safe.
Everyone in our community deserves to feel safe, live with dignity, and be treated with respect.

The TeleCheck Seniors Program (55+) provides ongoing telephone support for isolated seniors. Our regular calls provide safety check-ins, medication reminders, or social calls. We also focus on offering clients a chance to be heard by providing emotional support, companionship and a sense of community. We work together to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness, provide positive coping skills, offer referrals to community services, and keep people safe.
