Background

The recipe of Anguilla’s oldest and perhaps wisest citizen, 104-year old Victoria Charles, for longevity is: “Eat plenty fish and ground provisions.” She is a resident of the Tender Loving Care Nursing Home in the Valley, one of two nursing homes on the island. The other nursing home on the island, the Miriam Gumbs Senior Care Center with 16 geriatric beds, also provides institutional care.

The elderly (60 years and older) constitute around 18 % of the total population. Most of them live at home with the extended family, but a growing number live alone. Health care providers make periodic home visits for routine monitoring and medical care. The estimated number of housebound elderly on the island is 93 (34 males and 59 females).
