The focus of the work of this team is based on proximity, personalization, trust and networking, all to empower, to give more autonomy, well-being and increase the quality of life of the elderly in their residence, always with a view to reducing the
isolation and solitude. The Association currently supports 120 people with an average age of around 83 years who live in the downtown area of Lisbon and Mouraria. If in the beggining they’ve looked for the first users, now they are the ones who reference a neighbor or a friend who needs support and the waiting list quickly became part of the work tools of this team that has 4 case managers (30 beneficiaries are assigned to each one). At the volunteer level, the first visits to the users are accompanied by the techniques until a relationship of trust between the parties is established and the implementation, on a case-by-case basis, of one of the fundamental rules is guaranteed: “intervening with consent”. It should be underlined that all this support is provided free of charge to users. As a curiosity, we know that on the birthday of the users they are presented with a cake, a gesture that is much appreciated.
