About
The Palms was established in 1874 under British colonial rule and was called “The Alms House”. In 1974, a century later, it was renamed “The Palms Elderly Care Facility” and is fully funded by the Guyana Government. The Facility provides efficient and adequate 24 hour nursing care for the elderly residents, as well as, free services to destitute Guyanese senior citizens.
