Lunenburg County Seniors Safety Program - 902-543-3567

The Lunenburg County Seniors' Safety Program is a community-based program that addresses the safety concerns of seniors, particularly elder abuse.

The Lunenburg County Seniors Safety Program operates under the sponsorship of South Shore Safe Communities, and is housed in the offices of Bridgewater Police Service. It is one of 14 Senior Safety Programs operating in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The program is designed to address senior’s safety concerns, reduce incidences of elder abuse, and promote better communication between seniors and police. Services are offered to seniors in their homes and in the community. To ensure that all seniors can participate in our services, programs are typically offered at low or no cost. With the advice of seniors and our partners, we identify gaps in services and endeavor to fill those gaps with effective programs or awareness campaigns.

Programs offered include:

1) Home visits

2) Seniors Police Academy

3) Living Alone

4) Seniors Safe Driving programs

5) Intergenerational Programs

6) Vial of Life

The program is also committed to work with community partners to address emerging issues (such as managing dementia and driving cessation) and to collaborate on inter-generational activities.
