Home Supports Initiative

People want to age in their own homes and communities for as long as possible. At SSM we believe that with the right planning and support these wants and needs can be satisfied.

This is possible! We need YOU! Please join with SSM and the 400+ individuals who have already said “Yes” to making Home Supports a reality.

We are compiling a list of persons who are committed to the Home Supports Initiative. We need your name, phone number and email address. We will not share your contact information with anyone but need it to confirm you are a real individual. More names will lend more power to our demands. SSM will communicate with supporters via email, our website and Facebook.

When individuals are able to stay in their homes and communities as they age, not only do the older adults benefit, but families and communities benefit as well. On October 1st, SSM launched the Home Supports initiative in order to:

• Raise awareness of the need to provide practical home supports that are accessible for all older adults who need them
• Engage individuals, organizations and communities to grow a powerful movement to demand action
• Maintain contact with and engage governments to raise their awareness of the needs, possibilities and positive return of investment
• Collaborate with governments to make home support programs a reality
