    Remaining independent does not mean handling every household task alone. A little practical help can make daily life safer and less stressful as fall brings colder weather and more home maintenance.

    Camrose support options include FCSS Senior’s CHOICES, Meals on Wheels, and the Camrose and Area Men’s Shed. These programs can help with household tasks, meals, social connection, and the first conversation about what would make everyday life easier.

    A helpful first step: Identify one task that is becoming difficult, then contact Camrose and District FCSS at 780-672-0141 to ask about options, eligibility, availability, and fees.
