Title
A Needs Assessment : Better Understanding the Current Situation of the Senior Population
Abstract
This needs assessment was conducted as part of a community development process in the English-speaking community of Grosse-Ile, on the Magdalen Islands, Quebec. It is part of the follow- up to a community portrait that was developed through a participatory process in early 2015. The process involved the mobilization and engagement of a number of local stakeholders as well as community residents who expressed their views on a number of different themes. One of the issues that was highlighted by community members as a concern, even a priority, was that of the aging population within the ESC, having access to few services and limited support for caregivers.
