Ang Kanlungan para sa Nakatatanda ay nakiisa sa pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika noong ika-24 ng Agosto 2026, na nakatuon sa temang: “Wikang Filipino at AI: Kasangkapan sa Pananaliksik at Tulay sa Yaman ng Impormasyon.”

Tampok sa programa ang paligsahan sa pag-awit na kung saan naghandog ang mga piling residente ng mga awitin mula sa iba't ibang katutubong wika ng bansa. Bukod pa rito, upang iparada ang kanilang mga pananamit, ibinida ng mga piling kawani at residente ang kani-kanilang magagandang pambansang kasuotan.

Ang okasyong ito ay isang matibay na patunay na sa bawat salitang pumupulas sa ating mga labi, itinataguyod natin ang ating sariling pagkakakilanlan. Sa gitna ng mabilis na pagbabago at pag-unlad ng mundo, ang wikang Filipino ay patuloy na sumasabay sa agos ng modernisasyon—nagsisilbing mabisa at makapangyarihang kasangkapan sa diskurso, akademya, at iba pang larangan. Bukod dito, ito ay nagiging bukal ng inspirasyon upang ang bawat henerasyon, lalo na ang ating mga nakatatanda, ay patuloy na magkaroon ng karangalan sa pagtataguyod ng ating Wikang Pambansa.

On August 18, 2026, the Haven for the Elderly Psychological Service Unit conducted an Existential Therapy group session for the center’s first batch of identified elderly residents at Therapy Room, Psychological Service.

The small group discussion aimed to provide a safe, compassionate space where residents could openly express their thoughts and feelings about life and passing away. By focusing on inner peace, cherished memories, and leaving a meaningful legacy, the session helped ease their fears and anxieties about end-of-life. Through shared stories and personal experiences, the activity also fostered a strong sense of community, mutual support, and connection among the participants. As part of the session, residents engaged in an open dialogue about their perspectives on the afterlife, how they prepare for it, and how their current lifestyle aligns with those goals. The discussion was paired with a meaningful visual exercise called the "Tree of Life."

Participants expressed heartfelt gratitude for the activity, noting that the afterlife is rarely discussed in their cottages. They shared how meaningful it was to voice their thoughts in a non-judgmental, accepting environment. This session was conceptualized and facilitated by Mr. Jhunix Maroto, Psychometrician at the Haven for the Elderly Psychological Service Unit.

The Haven for the Elderly joined the nationwide observance of the 48th National Disability Rights Week (NDRW) from 17-23 July, with the theme: "Rights First, Legislation Forward: Strategic Action for Equal Participation and Inclusive Development."

The activities included the Move Your Body Nutri-Zumba, Nutri-Decor, and Nutri-Lympic, which were held throughout the day at the Haven for the Elderly in support of this year's Nutrition Month celebration.

The morning started with the Move Your Body Nutri-Zumba, where residents and staff enthusiastically joined the exercise session.

July 8, at 9:00 AM, the facility came alive with the vibrant energy of Therapy Day. The morning was filled with a wonderful variety of simultaneous activities designed to uplift, engage, and comfort everyone involved.

From the quiet focus of the coloring and word search stations to the high spirits of the videoke session and the deep reflection of cinematherapy, there was truly something for everyone.

The day was a beautiful, fun-filled tapestry of emotions. Bright smiles and hearty laughter filled the rooms, alongside tender tears of reminiscence as old memories were awakened. Most touchingly, the event became a special venue for an elderly couple who, having just reconciled the very day before, used the activities as a beautiful space to bond, rebuild, and share old joys together.

The Haven for the Elderly reaffirmed its commitment to promoting quality elder care through a learning session held on 07 July 2026 at the Army Station Hospital (ASH), Camp Mateo Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal. Nurse Jocelyn C. Reyes of the Haven for the Elderly served as the Resource Speaker and delivered a lecture on "Caregiving for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities," providing healthcare personnel with practical knowledge and essential caregiving techniques for delivering compassionate, person-centered care.

The learning session demonstrated how continuous education and inter-agency collaboration enhance the capacity of healthcare providers to address the physical, emotional, social, and psychological needs of older persons and persons with disabilities.

We extend our sincere appreciation to the Army Station Hospital (ASH), Camp Mateo Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal, for the opportunity to contribute to this meaningful learning activity. Such collaborations reflect a shared commitment to enhancing the capabilities of healthcare providers through continuous education and the exchange of expertise.

One of Haven for the Elderly's client's wish has been fulfilled!

After more than two (2) years of care, support, and companionship at Haven for the Elderly, Lolo Ericson, a 65-year-old resident, has been discharged for independent living, under the care and custody of his relative in Brgy. Malaya, Pililla, Rizal.

While the center serves as a safe haven for older persons in need of protection and care, one of our greatest aspirations is to help residents reconnect with their families or relatives whenever possible and support their successful reintegration into the community. Through continuous assessment, preparation, and coordination, Lolo Ericson is now given the opportunity to begin a new chapter surrounded by the support of his relatives and community.

This accomplishment would not have been possible without the invaluable partnership and unwavering assistance of the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) of Pililla, Rizal, and Brgy. Malaya, whose commitment and collaboration were instrumental in ensuring a safe and successful community reintegration.

As Lolo Ericson embarks on this new journey, Haven for the Elderly celebrates this meaningful transition and remains hopeful that he will continue to experience dignity, independence, and the warmth of family life.

We wish Lolo Ericson good health, happiness, and continued well-being. 💙
