Please note: legislation affecting care for older adults may vary significantly from province to province. If you are looking for this information for a province other than Saskatchewan, please contact NNELS support.

Providing care to an older person can be a demanding but rewarding experience. Education and support services are critical in preventing and addressing abuse and neglect and promoting overall wellness. To this end, the Government of Saskatchewan set out the following principles to guide policy and programming for older adults. The spirit and intent of many of these principles are already reflected in our laws and serve as a helpful starting point for any interactions with older adults in our communities.
