Senior Advocacy

Senior advocacy involves supporting and representing the interests of older adults to ensure their rights, needs, and preferences are respected. It includes helping seniors navigate healthcare, social services, and legal matters, as well as speaking up on issues affecting their wellbeing. Advocates work to empower seniors to make informed decisions and secure access to appropriate resources, fostering independence and dignity. This role can be carried out by professionals, volunteers, or relatives committed to ensuring older adults are treated fairly and their voices are heard in policies and community services.
