About Muslim Seniors Care Services

The Muslim Seniors Care Services has sought to serve Muslim seniors and their families for nearly a decade. Our primary focus is providing our seniors with social, educational, cultural and religious support. To do this, we work for Muslim seniors but also with Muslim seniors to ensure we offer academic and social services that are catered to our seniors. As members of a racialized segment of the Canadian population, Muslim seniors do not have a wide variety of services that support and connect with them on a religious and cultural level. Because of this gap in services, it is easy for our seniors to become isolated and placed at a higher risk of experiencing elder abuse due to a lack of awareness and social support. MSCS focuses heavily on preventing elder abuse by engaging, educating, and empowering our Muslim seniors with tools to identify, prevent, and seek support when encountering situations of elder abuse. The MSCS is governed by a volunteer board of directors that works with an executive team of management volunteers, project staff, and youth-led teams, all of whom strive to serve and represent our Muslim seniors.
