Needs Assessment for English-Speaking Seniors : Maintaining Health and Well-Being : Final Report Based on the Multiple Perspectives and Experiences of Quebec's English-Speaking Seniors Living in the Community

This research report addresses three main themes related to the challenges and needs of Quebec’s English-speaking seniors. First, it outlines the obstacles they face, particularly language barriers that limit access to healthcare and increase isolation, especially in rural and remote areas where support from caregivers and the community is essential. Second, it identifies their priorities for improving health services, emphasizing the need for respectful and accessible care, particularly end-of-life services, and addressing digital exclusion, which heightens their vulnerability. Finally, it assesses the CHSSN model (2019) “ Promoting the health and well-being of English-speaking seniors in Quebec: a community model” to validate its relevance and adapt it to the realities of English-speaking seniors, confirming its suitability for the diverse experiences of aging.
