The Centre for Happy Elderly People (CHEP) proudly marked its 20th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraising event on Friday, 31 July 2026, at the NECA Event Centre, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
The milestone represented two decades of commitment to improving the welfare of older persons and promoting quality elderly care in Nigeria.
The anniversary also provided an opportunity to celebrate the organisation’s journey, recognise its contributions to elderly care, appreciate its supporters and stakeholders, and mobilise additional resources towards sustaining and expanding its humanitarian mission.
Twenty years of service represent an important milestone in the continuing effort to ensure that older people receive the attention, respect, comfort and care they deserve.
Our Commitment to Quality Elderly Care
At CHEP, elderly care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. It involves creating an environment where older persons are treated with dignity, compassion, patience and respect.
The organisation recognises that ageing can bring different physical, emotional and social challenges. Consequently, appropriate care, companionship, professional support and access to relevant health services are essential to maintaining the wellbeing of older adults.
CHEP provides and promotes a range of services, including:
- Technical elderly care and support.
- Home-based care and support services.
- Home visits and assistance for older persons.
- Caregiver training and development.
- Management and support for challenges associated with old age.
- Specialised support through its elderly care facilities.
- Consultancy and professional guidance in elderly care.
Through these services, CHEP seeks to support families, caregivers and communities in responding more effectively to the needs of older people.
CHEP Geriatric Human Resource Development Ltd. (Academy): Developing Professional Caregivers
One of the important initiatives of CHEP is its Geriatric Human Resource Development Academy, established to contribute to the development of competent and professionally trained caregivers.
The growing demand for elderly care services creates opportunities for individuals who wish to develop careers in geriatric and social care.
To support this need, the Academy offers a Geriatric Social Care Competence/Quality Assurance Training Programme.
