Aleva Seniors – Aleva Care

We provide excellent and compassionate care to older adults (65+ years), empowering them to live their post-retirement years with independence, vitality and utmost satisfaction.

The inspiration to set up Aleva Adult Day Care Centre is to address the challenges of loneliness, boredom and lack of purpose faced by many seniors who find themselves alone at
home with long hours of emptiness, especially when their active work life comes to an end at retirement.

Like many urban cities, Accra is experiencing a significant demographic shift with a growing elderly population. Despite the increasing need, there is a noticeable gap in appropriate services for the elderly. Many families are struggling to find suitable care options that offer both medical support and engaging activities tailored to the needs of older adults,
ensuring that they receive quality care, social interaction, and a fulfilling daily routine. By offering a variety of activities and opportunities for social interaction, Aleva Care will help older adults stay connected and engaged with their peers.

For family members who care for the elderly, we aim to provide the much-needed relief by offering professional support, thereby reducing their stress and enabling them to maintain a better work-life and social balance. Involving local organizations and hosting community events will ensure that the centre contributes to building a stronger, more supportive network for our clients.

Aleva Adult Day Care Center is not just a response to a growing need but a proactive step towards creating a supportive, enriching environment. We are driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on the community. We strive to provide services that embody compassion, respect, and excellence to leave a legacy of enhanced care and support for future generations.
Through this initiative, we hope to transform the landscape of care for the elderly and set a new standard for quality and compassionate care tailored to the community.
