Bucerias Tercera Edad AC

History:

Tercera Edad has significantly and continuously impacts the lives of hundreds of vulnerable Mexican seniors in the Bucerias community.

In Mexico, familial devotion to elder care is a deep-rooted tradition; most families strive diligently to support their senior members. However, challenges arise when resources are limited. For instance, in households where all adults are employed full-time, there may be no one available to care for elderly relatives during the day. Additionally, as in many cultures worldwide, some seniors unfortunately may become victims of abuse.

In the state of Nayarit, the absence of non-profit long-term care (LTC) homes exacerbates these challenges. The existing for-profit senior care facilities often charge fees that are unaffordable for many families. As Mexican society gradually moves away from traditional models of senior family support, the need for an alternative support system becomes increasingly evident.

Casa de la Paz is a new facility dedicated to providing comprehensive care and housing for seniors. This project addresses the urgent need for non-profit long-term care homes in Nayarit, ensuring that seniors receive the necessary care and support. Construction of the home is 80% complete and can be followed on our web site Cdelapaz.org. The funds we require will primarily be allocated to cover operational costs to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of the facility.
