Elderly Care

Albania's elderly are among the most overlooked. Many live alone, cut off from family, unable to navigate a system that was never designed for them. We show up — every week, every meal, every appointment.

Dignity in Every Stage of Life

Albania's rural depopulation and mass emigration have left behind a generation of elderly people who raised families, built communities, and now face their final years in isolation. Government pensions are often too small to cover basic needs, and social care infrastructure is thin.

Our Elderly Care program fills the gap — not through charity at arm's length, but through sustained, personal presence. Our volunteers don't just deliver food. They sit, listen, and make sure every person feels they matter.

From Referral to Ongoing Care

Our process is designed to be fast and frictionless for elderly individuals and their families.

01

Referral

Anyone can refer an elderly person — family, neighbours, doctors, or the individual themselves. A phone call is all it takes.

02

Home Assessment

A coordinator visits within one week to assess needs, living conditions, and the person's own wishes about the kind of support they want.

03

Volunteer Matching

We match the person with a trained volunteer who lives nearby and fits their personality and language preferences.

04

Ongoing Support

Support continues as long as it's needed. We review the care plan every six months and adapt to changing needs.
