About Yes We Care Programme
The Yes We Care Programme, initiated in 2009 by Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, functions under the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Social Services. It aims to meet the growing needs of the elderly population within Dominica's Healthcare system by offering in-home care services to those who cannot care for themselves due to illness, disability, or financial difficulties. The program prioritizes compassionate care, allowing elderly individuals to remain independent while receiving home physical, emotional, and social support.
