-SUPPORT TO SENIORS-
Since 2005, the Fondation Village – helping seniors has received many requests for assistance. These requests often hide a deeper concern that seniors want to keep from their families.
Confidentiality is the first rule at the Fondation Village – helping seniors.
Over the years, a committee was created to determine the level of support that individuals should receive. This level takes into account the income of the person living alone or in a couple.
Here is what the Fondation Village – helping seniors can do for you with its volunteers and donations received from its sponsors and the general public.
The request must also meet the objectives of the mission, namely:
-
alleviate the suffering and disability associated with aging or illness by providing care equipment, defraying costs for treatment and facilitating the rehabilitation of low-income seniors
-
If necessary, secure housing with removable installations to meet the special needs of the elderly with reduced mobility due to aging, physical disability or accidentally acquired.
-
Defraying the costs for treatments in alternative medicine such as: therapeutic massage, acupuncture. Treatments approved by the attending physician.
-
If necessary, defray the cost of counseling services for the elderly with problems of isolation, alcoholism or emotional distress.
-
A senior who finds himself facing a financial situation that can decrease his quality of life and that this expense should not be considered as superfluous for their well-being, the Foundation will provide them with this essential good.
