What's the purpose

Our "Know Your Rights" is the first step or phase in our Quality of Life Program, dedicated to educating seniors on their rights in four key areas: personal, home, auto, and pet. By equipping seniors with this knowledge, we empower them to advocate for themselves effectively and safeguard their well-being in all aspects of life.

Advocate For Your Rights

Knowledge is the key to empowerment. With the Know Your Rights sessions, seniors gain the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and dignity.

In the Know Your Rights, seniors participate in workshops, seminars, and educational sessions focused on their rights in personal, home, auto, and pet-related matters. Led by experienced advocates and legal professionals, these sessions provide practical insights and guidance tailored to seniors' specific needs and concerns in these areas.

How it works

  • Registration: Seniors can easily sign up for the Know Your Rights sessions through our user-friendly registration process, either online or by phone. Registration is simple and hassle-free, ensuring that seniors can access the program with ease.
  • Participate Online or In-person: Participants have the flexibility to engage in workshops and seminars either online or in-person, depending on their preferences and convenience. Whether from the comfort of their own home or at a physical location, seniors can access valuable resources and information.
  • Learn the Signs of Mistreatment: Seniors will learn to recognize the signs of mistreatment, abuse, and exploitation, empowering them to protect themselves and others from harm. Through educational materials and discussions, participants gain insight into identifying and addressing mistreatment effectively.
  • Understanding Your Rights: Armed with knowledge about the signs of mistreatment, seniors delve into understanding their rights in various aspects of life. From personal and financial matters to healthcare and legal issues, seniors explore the rights that protect them and the actions they can take to assert those rights.
  • Interact with Advocates: Participants have the opportunity to interact directly with advocates and legal experts, asking questions, sharing experiences, and seeking guidance on specific issues. This interactive engagement fosters a supportive environment where seniors can receive personalized assistance and advice tailored to their needs.
  • Interactive Learning: The Know Your Rights sessions incorporate interactive learning activities, such as quizzes, case studies, and group discussions, to reinforce key concepts and enhance understanding. These interactive elements encourage active participation and engagement, making the learning process enjoyable and effective.
  • Empowering Seniors: As seniors progress through the program, they emerge empowered with knowledge and confidence to assert their rights effectively. Equipped with a deeper understanding of their rights and the support of advocates, seniors are better prepared to navigate legal, financial, and healthcare challenges with dignity and determination.
