ROTIS Line Offers Help to Vulnerable Seniors: Click here for details

Help the Aged (Canada) has collaborated with Ottawa Public Health, the Regional Geriatric Program of Eastern Ontario, VHA Health and Home Support, and a network of community resources to offer the Reaching Out to Isolated Seniors (ROTIS) program. ROTIS allows community members to help connect vulnerable seniors with assistance they might need as they age.  Vulnerable seniors may have difficulty caring for themselves, experience unexplained changes in personality, have little social support when they need it, and are vulnerable to falling through cracks in the medical and social systems.  ROTIS helps seniors maintain their independence and overall well-being by connecting them to appropriate services such as fall prevention, chronic disease management, mental health support, spiritual care, home helpers, and friendly visitors.  If you are concerned about a senior in your community, please speak with them or call the ROTIS line at 613-562-6381.  For more information about ROTIS, including volunteering opportunities or to book presentations for your workplace or community group, please contact Olivia Guiliani ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
