Seniors are Our Priority

A haven for seniors where dignity, care, and community meet

The Al Alali Day Care Center for Parents, established by the A’ali Social Charity Society on government-granted land in Al Alali, will provide seniors with daily care, social activities, and healthcare services, aiming to preserve their dignity and support local families upon its opening.

Amid Bahrain’s demographic changes and the growing number of seniors, the center addresses the urgent need for specialized day care that allows elderly citizens to live actively while easing the burden on their families. Valued at BHD 550,000, the project reflects a combination of humanitarian care and sustainable planning led by the society.

Unlike conventional shelters, the center will offer a comprehensive daily experience, including cultural and social activities, light fitness sessions, primary healthcare, and spaces for relaxation, conversation, and shared hobbies. 

The initiative also includes seven commercial units providing steady income, two multipurpose halls for events, and an underground parking facility, all within a modern, accessible building that meets official standards for ventilation, thermal insulation, and mobility for persons with disabilities.

According to the Ministry of Social Development, day care centers in Bahrain serve hundreds daily. In the Southern Governorate, around 856 seniors benefit from similar services, highlighting the growing importance of such support.

The A’ali Social Charity Society describes the Al Alali Day Care Center as a model of corporate social responsibility, delivering a tangible and lasting impact, linking supporting entities to meaningful programs, and serving a socially respected demographic.

More than a building, the center will be a haven where seniors can enjoy their days with dignity, companionship, and joy, returning home enriched, happy, and cared for a concrete example of how community initiatives can positively transform the lives of seniors in Bahrain.
