The scheme reflects the extensive efforts being made to ensure the stability and quality of life of
those providing care for the elderly, said Ms Al Rumaithi. The initiative seeks to empower caregivers
to access these systems and strengthen the role of children in supporting and caring for the elderly,
she added.

“We are proud to be part of this inspiring humanitarian initiative, which aims to develop regulatory
human resources policies within the Abu Dhabi government and empower employees to fulfil their
family responsibilities without compromising their professional performance,” said Ibrahim Nasser,
undersecretary of the Department of Government Enablement.

When Sheikh Mohamed launched the scheme in April, he spoke of the vital role the elderly play in
society, describing them as a vital pillar of society whose wisdom, experience and resilience help to
guide younger generations. Senior citizens remain an integral part of the nation’s social fabric, he
added.

Among the other services, of the scheme is providing temporary alternative care services when
family members are unable to provide the level required. The scheme will also allow for home
improvements to be carried out, in facilities used by senior citizens, to support primary caregivers.
