Our Approach
We activate our local network. How does that work? In many cases, our Indonesian staff hear through others about possible distressing situations among local elderly people. During a personal home visit, an assessment of the need for help takes place. After mapping out the specific assistance required, our staff organize follow-up actions and carry them out. Everything is done in close personal consultation with the elderly.
Types of Care
The care we provide focuses on the well-being and living environment of the elderly. This includes meeting basic needs such as personal care, food, medicine, and human contact. We also care on a residential level, for example, by furnishing and adapting the homes of the elderly.
