Advocate For The Health Needs Of The Elderly.

The 60+ Foundation has been established, among other things, to advocate for the wholistic wellbeing of the older generation. This group are marginalized and as a result, their health deteriorate faster than expected.

Many are unable to live longer after the first decade of retirement.

But it is believed that this segment of our population is a GOLD MINE where counsel can be sought to enrich the lives of the younger generation.

This is what has endeared a group of friends who, on their own, have been doing personal charities to elderly people to form this foundation to reach out to many more lives in this age group.

The health needs of the elderly is paramount  to us and we need to advocate for their inclusion in national policy making.

Offer Hospitality Management

From our periodic visits to the communities to help the elderly poor, we observe that majority of them live in delapidated structures, uncompleted buildings and abandoned kiosks.

The foundation intends to establish a facility where such aged folks will be accomodated temporally, until a permannet decent place is made available for them.

Social Support Services

The foundation offers various support services to alleviate their plight of the elderly poor. This year, we distributed over 300 food hampers on Mothers' Day, Sunday 8th May.  

A much bigger event has been organised on Sunday Fathers' Day. a gathering o over 300 men feasted and were treated to good music and various therapies, including massages, haircuts, nail works, and health screening. 

On 26^th December, 2022 the foundation is sharing hampers again to the elderly in the Adenta Constituency as part of the Christmas Celebration.

Aged Care

This is a very delicate area of our service provision. At this level special care is needed for some of our elderly especialy for those who are suffering from some form of sickness or disease.

Home care services are organized for this group of people and periodic health screening and health talks organized to encourage many of them in their daily living.

Training and Development

In partneship with Golden Care Agency, Ghana's leading care provider company, we mobilise young people and train them in geriatrics (elder care) to provide the service to the eldely folks in our coverage area.
