Older Adult Wellness

HEALTH, WELLNESS

We serve the South Asian seniors with a high risk for older adult abuse, neglect, financial fraud, and medical neglect as they might not know a lot about systems and services in America.

Mauj Masti Sehat

We run a seniors’ wellness forum, “Mauj Masti Sehat” (Fun Enjoyment Health), planned by a psychotherapist. We have one session a month, and invite a guest speaker for each. On average, 50 seniors attend each session.

This is a prevention project for the mental health of seniors. We reach out to 150 plus seniors every week through our outreach efforts.

Learning English

EDUCATION

We provide Spoken English skills to recent immigrants, especially older adults.

We launched “English Hinglish”, a fun online series that teaches English through games, conversations, and discussions. Participants receive presentations for review, assignments of voice recordings on assigned topics, and one-on-one sessions. Mission of this class is to enhance the confidence of South Asian immigrants in navigating the systems of the society.
