The Senior Citizen program is one of the initiatives of Darul Falah Islamic Centre that aims to support the Senior Citizen in longer term to increase social connection and reduce loneliness. We are offering three services under this initiative.
I. Transportation for Friday Jummah- supporting the older adults with transportation to attend the prayers at the mosque on Friday.
II. Murubbi Adda- monthly get to gather senior citizens with some activities and light snacks that will help in socialization. It will give a chance to the young peer leaders as well to be connected with older adults and learn about real-life experiences.
III. Compassionate call: Biweekly follow-up call with older adults. A group of volunteer youth groups will communicate with the older adults to follow up on medication adherence, current health and mental health situation, and to discuss any other issues. The group will be provided with available resources (such as a mental health service link) so that they can share with the older adults. We will also arrange a language interpreter with whom the aging population can communicate comfortably.
Please complete the registration if you (or your family/friends) would like to avail the services. For more details please email to seniorcitizen@dficregina.com.
