Candian Government Funds Organizations for Seniors
The Canadian federal government is providing funding that will help non-profit organizations that assist in making seniors renovate their facilities and acquire new equipment. The funding program allows facilities up to $25,000 to make these renovations. The program was launched on August 30th and the deadline to apply for funding was October 8th.
This is another part of the Canadian government’s campaign for ending elder abuse. The campaign is said to provide a total of over $8.5 million in funding for helping seniors. A report on Tillsonburgnews.com provides information on the types of funding that are available including the amount of funding and details on how the funding is to be used.
The federal government in both Canada and the United States have taken huge strides in providing assistance or senior citizens. There is no information whether the Canadian government’s campaign or the government funded employee screening programs in the U.S. have worked to reduce elder abuse. However, as the programs and funding continue to mature, the statistics of elder abuse cases in both Canada and the United States should see a dramatic decrease. Coupled with the availability of information on elder abuse and injuries to seniors provided to the public, elder abuse and injuries should begin to diminish.
