Do you know of any senior citizens' communities or nursing/retirement homes in the Philippines?


I'd appreciate names and contact numbers. Private or public retirement/nursing/assisted-living homes or communities for senior citizens.

Nursing Homes

The nonprofit sector contributes significantly to the administration of nursing homes. Though there are only a few non-profit nursing homes, mostly run by religious congregations, according to the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD), they account for 95 percent of all existing nursing homes or residential care facilities nationwide. Significant contribution in this area is made by the Coalition of Services for the Elderly (contact: Ma. Socorro Sarabia; www.cosephil.org; e-mail: cose@cosephil.org). COSE works with the elderly poor in urban or rural settings in the Philippines. Currently, there are 21 member organizations of the Coalition that meet regularly. COSE has 43 community based programs for the elderly (CBPEs) in Luzon and has office in Davao. Its four major social events for the elderly include: a Christmas Party, a Trip to the beach, Sports Fest, and the Sampung Ulirang Nakatatanda or the 鈥淭en Outstanding Elderly Awards.鈥?Its partners include students, professionals and donors.

More information can be obtained from the Department of Social Welfare & Development (DSWD; tel: (632)951-7119; http://www.dswd.gov.ph/).

Most people there take care of their own family member in fact they all live together,,,Wonderful people there ,,,Good luck and you will find very good and kind people.
