Access to Care

Our goal is to ensure access to care and dignity for our elderly and disabled

At Warm Heart, we are committed to supporting rural communities and providing comprehensive care throughout the entire life-cycle of our community members. 

One of our key initiatives is our small but dedicated ‘Access to Care’ team, comprising Public Health qualified staff and volunteers.

​This team goes above and beyond, making over 1,000 visits each year to the poor, isolated, elderly, and disabled individuals in remote parts of the region who are unable to access public resources.

​

​Our Access to Care Services:
​

Home Visits and Support:
​Our team conducts regular home visits, offering more than just food and supplies. These visits provide friendship, support, personal care, and assistance with everyday tasks. 
Medical Transportation:
​We assist with organizing medical appointments, arranging transportation, and addressing the unique needs of each individual, ensuring they receive the care and attention they deserve.
Access to Mobility Aids:
We understand the importance of mobility for the elderly and disabled. Through partnerships and reduced-cost resources, we are able to provide wheelchairs, walkers, eye-glasses, and hearing aids to those in need within our community, free of charge.
Access to Medical Treatment:
Many individuals in poverty-stricken and isolated areas struggle to access critical medical appointments due to lack of transportation or financial constraints.

​At Warm Heart, we prioritize ensuring that everyone has access to vital medical treatment. We allocate resources and funds to address transportation challenges and provide support throughout the medical journey.

​Access to Home Restoration:
​Basic home renovations can have a profound impact on the lives of those in poverty. Our Access to Care team collaborates with community organizations to help villagers address issues related to sanitation and dignity.
Whether it’s fixing a leaking roof, mending broken sewage pipes, restoring water supply, building access ramps, or providing essential furniture, our team is dedicated to improving living conditions and enhancing the quality of life for the elderly and disabled.

Funding and How You Can Help

To sustain and expand our services, we rely on the support of compassionate individuals like you. 

Your contributions make a significant difference in the lives of those in need. 

We require a constant supply of food, glasses, hearing aids, new clothes, adult diapers, walking aids, and fuel for our vehicles.

If you can offer a donation of money, goods, or volunteer your time, you will play a crucial role in ensuring access to care and dignity for the elderly and disabled in our community.

Making a Difference

Beyond visiting, Access to Care works with neighbors, local governments and strategic partners to provide a wide range of services such as:
  • Building ramps and renovating homes
  • Distributing wheelchairs, walkers, and therapeutic devices to every Phrao person in need in partnership with the Wheelchair Project
  • Providing reading glasses for all of the elderly in Phrao in partnership with local optometrists
  • Giving access to public health
By coordinating and providing seed funding for community efforts, Warm Heart also helps renovate, rebuild, and provide wheelchair access to improve living conditions for the very poor.
