Kingston, Jamaica — 876 Nurses Home Care Services Limited has partnered with Fontana Pharmacy to celebrate Jamaica’s senior community through Seniors Day, a recurring initiative dedicated to promoting healthy ageing, wellness and greater access to support for older adults.

Held on the second Tuesday of every month, Seniors Day brings together two Jamaican brands with a shared commitment to helping individuals and families live healthier, more supported lives.

For 876 Nurses, the partnership is also an extension of the company’s approach to care: supporting seniors not only when they are ill or recovering, but throughout the everyday journey of ageing well.

Supporting Healthy Ageing at Home and in the Community

As Jamaica’s population ages, families are increasingly navigating questions about how best to support parents, grandparents and other older loved ones while helping them maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life.

876 Nurses provides professional home care and wellness support designed to meet those needs where many seniors are most comfortable—at home.

Services available to seniors and their families include nursing and caregiver support, vital signs checks, diabetes monitoring, medication support, post-operative care, physiotherapy assistance and other personalised home care services.

Through the Seniors Day partnership with Fontana, 876 Nurses is able to take that commitment beyond the home and into a familiar community setting.

More than a day, Seniors' Day is 'A Commitment to Senior Wellness'

While Seniors Day provides a dedicated opportunity each month to celebrate older adults, the initiative also encourages families to make senior wellness an ongoing priority.

Regular health monitoring, appropriate physical activity, medication management, proper nutrition, companionship and access to professional support can all play an important role in helping seniors remain active and engaged in their own lives.

The partnership therefore reflects a broader message: healthy ageing is something we can support together.

For relatives and caregivers, it is also a reminder that caring for an ageing loved one does not have to be managed alone. Having access to trusted healthcare and home-care professionals can provide additional support for both seniors and the families caring for them.

Care That Extends to the Whole Family

At 876 Nurses, senior care forms part of a much wider commitment to supporting Jamaican households through different stages of life.

From childcare and household support to nursing, post-operative assistance, physiotherapy and elder care, the company continues to develop services around the realities of modern families—providing practical help where and when it is needed.

Collaborations such as Seniors Day with Fontana allow 876 Nurses to extend that philosophy into the wider community while creating more opportunities to have meaningful conversations about ageing, preventative care and family wellness.

Seniors' Day featuring 876 Nurses is celebrated every second Tuesday of the month.
