What is the SSCAS?

The Society of Seniors Caring About Seniors (SSCAS) is an Edmonton-based non-profit organization. Its mission is to be an effective service facilitator for seniors to help them retain their lifestyle, sense of independence and well-being. The purpose of the society is to help south-side seniors live independently in their communities for as long as possible, by providing services that ensure their mobility and assist with basic household maintenance.

Who Supports SSCAS?

SSCAS is funded in part by the City of Edmonton's Family and Community Support Services. Donations from the general public are also accepted and much appreciated. (Tax receipts are issued for amounts over $10.00.)

What Does SSCAS Do?

SSCAS offers two programs to qualifying seniors: a transportation program to help individuals get to and from appointments or to run errands, and a household service program to provide assistance with common chores and minor fix-ups around the home. The household service program began in 1988; the transportation program was added in 1994.
