At Saint Martha’s House, we are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment for our elderly community. As part of our ongoing efforts to promote awareness and protection, we were honored to welcome the Community Police for an important educational visit.
A Powerful Lecture by Colonel Dahlan
During the visit, Colonel Dahlan delivered a thoughtful and impactful lecture focused on combating domestic violence, with special attention to the vulnerabilities faced by the elderly. His presentation shed light on several key issues:
Legal Responsibilities
Colonel Dahlan explained the legal framework designed to protect the elderly from abuse and neglect. He highlighted the rights of seniors and the obligations of caregivers, emphasizing that the law prioritizes their safety, dignity, and well-being.
Ethical Duties in Elderly Care
Beyond legal measures, the lecture touched deeply on ethical responsibilities. Colonel Dahlan stressed the importance of compassion, patience, and respect—qualities essential for preserving the dignity and humanity of every elderly person.
His message reinforced that elderly care is not just a service; it is a moral commitment to honor and protect those who have contributed so much throughout their lives.
Strengthening Awareness and Protection
The visit served as a meaningful reminder of the role that families, caregivers, institutions, and society play in preventing domestic violence and ensuring a safe environment for seniors. The ladies at Saint Martha’s House and our staff greatly benefited from this valuable awareness session.
Our Appreciation
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community Police for their dedicated work and to Colonel Dahlan for his time, knowledge, and sincere engagement. Their efforts help strengthen community awareness and support the mission of Saint Martha’s House.
