The government of Jamaica partners with International Non-Profit Organisations such as Free Wheelchair Mission and the Starkey Hearing Foundation to help provide free or partially subsidised assistive technology to vulnerable groups in Jamaica, including older persons and persons with dementia (JIS, 2019). Other NGOS like Food for the Poor also provide adult hygiene products and housing adjustments upon request in vulnerable groups in the areas in Jamaica which they serve (Food for the Poor, 2019).
