  • Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly (CARIE)

    The Center for Advocacy for the Rights and Interests of the Elderly (CARIE) is a non-profit organization, based in Philadelphia, dedicated to improving the quality of life for vulnerable older people. CARIE fulfills its core mission — to improve the well being, rights and autonomy of older persons through advocacy, education, and action — through a “case to cause” model of advocacy that addresses problems and issues on both the individual and the systemic levels. Because frail older adults often lack the ability to advocate on their own behalf without assistance, CARIE provides individual advocacy through direct service and systemic advocacy through education and public policy initiatives. CARIE's most successful and widely used service is the CARIE LINE. The CARIE LINE is a free telephone-based and online advocacy service addressing issues of concern impacting older adults. CARIE also offers a free monthly e-newsletter that provides information about policy related issues impacting older adults.
