What Is An
Advocate for Senior Citizens?
There was a day when older people
were minimized and treated as less
of a person because of their age,
ailments or limitations. Some were
treated as if they were incompetent

person may have had some functional
limitations, but if properly diagnosed, treated and given
some help and support, that older adult could live
independently – quite well!

take the lead and advocate for their rights. Anthony’s role,
as a Senior Advocate, is to help older adults maintain
their independence. He is a troubleshooter working to
