Recommendations for increasing community awareness of Community Care Haliburton County services.

This report will look at the projections for the population of seniors in Canada with a focus on Haliburton County. It will consider the factors affecting community-dwelling seniors as well as the needs of the caregivers of the seniors. Finally, this paper will offer future recommendations for increasing community awareness of Community Care Haliburton County services.

Recommendations include fostering community awareness and responsibility, along with a cohesive team mentality amongst health care providers as this is necessary to enable seniors to live independently in the community while maintaining a decent quality of life. This is also an extremely cost effective manner for Community Care to promote the availability of their services to seniors and their caregivers in Haliburton County.
