What We Do

Navigation

The Well-Being HUB Navigation service offers support to community members along the Eastern Shore and through the Musquodoboit Valley who are 16 years
and over. Our service features two Navigators – Mental Wellness Navigator and Navigator for Seniors.

Our Navigators are community links, helping community members access resources, navigate systems, connect with necessary care and other supports. They also provide information about services, practical supports, and connections to community resources.

If you provide a service, resource, or support related to:

  • aging in place
  • unpaid caregiving
  • supporting mental health & wellness

Get in touch with admin@wellbeinghub.ca to let us know about it.

Contact either of our Navigators with your own questions, or to provide a referral for someone else toll free at 1-833-393-2298; or by email at admin@wellbeinghub.com.

Visiting Buddies

Volunteer Visitor Program

This program takes place along the Eastern Shore and through the Musquodoboit Valley where we match volunteers with an older adult who could use some company. The volunteer visits their “match person” in their home or in the community for one to three hours per week.

The matches last for six months, with the option to extend if resources are available.

Visits are social – and can include:

  • outings
  • doing an activity at the client’s home
  • providing company and help with errands or appointments
  • some navigation to resources, etc.

Pairs decide together on a visit schedule that works for both, so the commitment is flexible. Volunteer participation in the Orientation and regular training opportunities are required.
