Each elder is provided with care that meets the international standards and medical care best practices. The ECC residents are evaluated by a multidisciplinary team (physician, nurses, physical therapist, dietician, social worker, and volunteer coordinator…) that aims to provide the elders with a comprehensive care plan that fits his/her needs. The medical care is supervised by a Geriatrician and residents.

Nurses play key roles in ECC. Our nurses strive to provide the elderly with the greatest extent of respect, humanity, professionalism, quality care, and integrity along with a comfortable companionship.

It includes assessing the ECC resident’s dietetic and nutritional plan, continuous supervision of the dining and snack programs, consistent and effective methods of measuring performance (e.g., monitoring nutritional status, screening risk of malnutrition, resident’s weight…), ongoing evaluation of each resident’s care plan and ensuring appropriate corrective actions are taken and documented as required.

The objective of rehabilitation and physical therapy in ECC is the promotion of care and the physical function of older adults. This is achieved through the application of programs and activities to prevent and treat anatomic and physiological dysfunctions and to provide rehabilitation to patients suffering from functional deficits.

Elders need to feel safe, remain close to other people and believe that their life continues to be meaningful. Emotional care helps the older adult to deal with vulnerability, loneliness, boredom, isolation and make him/her feel well about himself/herself. Our staff is caring, well trained and experienced in dealing with all these situations.

Admission to the Elderly Care Center follows a structured process designed to ensure proper evaluation and decision-making. Applications are submitted either by the elderly individual or their legal representative, after which the case is reviewed and assessed. The file is then examined by a designated committee composed of the ECC Director, Head Nurse, Social Assistant, and the Volunteering Team Coordinator, and a recommendation is submitted to the relevant parties for final approval. Upon approval, the resident undergoes a medical assessment and the necessary laboratory tests. Admission to the Elderly Care Center is completed once all evaluations and required administrative procedures have been finalized.

Admission Criteria:

• The older adult must be ≥65 years old.
• The medical condition must be stable and non-infectious (free of TB, viral hepatitis, etc.).
• The Older adult shall not require advanced medical procedures (e.g., tracheostomy, NG tube feeding).
• The Older adult shall not exhibit uncontrolled psychiatric or aggressive behaviors.

Volunteerism has been a cornerstone of the Elderly Care Center (ECC) since the launch of its Volunteer Program in 1995. Today, the program brings together around 30 dedicated male and female volunteers from diverse regions and age groups, united by a shared commitment to service and compassion.

The Volunteer Program plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of care provided at the ECC. It fosters meaningful community engagement, strengthens social responsibility, and enriches the daily lives of residents by offering personalized attention, companionship, and emotional support.

Volunteers actively contribute to a wide range of social, recreational, and fundraising initiatives. These include organizing community events such as themed lunches, brunches, and traditional gatherings, aimed at supporting the center financially. They also help build and maintain strong partnerships with various organizations to promote the ECC’s mission and secure needed resources.

In addition, volunteers represent the center, in coordination with the institution’s team, at workshops, conferences, and community activities, thereby strengthening its visibility and outreach. They also contribute by providing essential supplies, including personal and hygiene items, and by organizing a variety of recreational programs for residents, such as outings, birthday and holiday celebrations, and events like Grandparents’ Day.

The program also emphasizes collaboration with elderly care institutions across different regions, promoting knowledge exchange and strengthening the network of care for older adults.

The ECC continuously welcomes new volunteers who are passionate about making a difference. Individuals willing to dedicate their time and become an integral part of the residents’ lives, through regular engagement, activities, and event organization, are encouraged to join this rewarding journey by completing a Volunteer Application Form.
