Route 65 is an online destination, operated by EngAge BC. The online tool helps connect B.C. seniors and the people who support them with the province’s leading operators of long-term care, assisted living, independent living and home health. To mark the holiday season Route 65 has launched a new campaign titled “Seniors Greetings,” which aims to bring messages of love, hope and support to residents of long-term care and assisted living homes, amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Route 65 readers will also find new holiday content, aimed at helping seniors and their caregivers navigate aging, caregiving and the seniors living and wellness continuum. Keep reading for more information.
