6/9/25, 11:10 AM FDF organises dialogue sessions to enhance quality of life for senior citizens in Abu Dhabi
their physical, mental, and social well-being. Furthermore, participants emphasised the importance of
enhancing support services, including the establishment of a physiotherapy centre. The findings also
indicated that social media platforms were considered the most effective means of communication with
the FDF, outperforming other methods such as the website or phone calls.

She went on to note that, based on the forum’s outcomes, researchers at the FDF recommended that
the Foundation continue hosting dialogue forums, as they serve as a valuable tool for strengthening
communication between the FDF and the wider community. These sessions play a key role in refining
and customising services to reflect the real needs of senior citizens. The researchers highlighted the

importance of prioritising core services, particularly those delivered through the My Health Forum and
the Social Forum and ensuring these continue to align with beneficiaries’ expectations.

In addition, they advised a careful review of the suggestions put forward, especially those related to
upgrading facilities and introducing new services that resonate with the preferences of older adults.
Additionally, the researchers stressed the importance of harnessing social media platforms to

disseminate targeted awareness content for senior citizens and their caregivers, while also exploring
volunteer opportunities that match their skills and experience, promoting stronger social integration and
recognising their valuable contributions.

The foundation confirmed that these initiatives align with its strategic vision to provide more inclusive

and impactful services that ensure a dignified and sustainable quality of life for elderly people. FDF is
committed towards supporting this pivotal section of society, identifying them as a key pillar of the
community, through the adoption of policies and programs that improve their well-being and reflect
society’s appreciation for their valuable contributions.
