The Taiwan Association for the Promotion of Elderly Welfare, founded in 1994, brings together older-adult organizations across Taiwan to advance elder welfare, protect older people’s rights, and help build a comprehensive care system. Its work gives particular attention to disadvantaged and older people living alone, with the aim of supporting healthy, happy, and dignified later lives.

The association combines direct support, public advocacy, information, and community engagement. Its programs include seasonal assistance and wish-granting activities, missing-older-person search services, and the “Love Bracelet” initiative to help people at risk of getting lost. It promotes elder protection and rights advocacy, provides services in rural communities, and supports older adults’ health self-management, social participation, and employment. The organization also addresses long-term care, dementia, financial security, fraud prevention, housing, health, and lifelong learning through resources and policy initiatives. For care professionals, it offers training and continuing-care education resources. The association publishes materials, shares policy perspectives, and invites the public to contribute, volunteer, or become members. Its website provides news, service information, and donation opportunities.
