The Ministry operates four Recreation Centres namely:

• James Burty David Recreation Centre (JBDRC) at Pointe Aux Sables
• Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Recreation Centre (SSRRC) at Belle Mare
• Lady Sushil Ramgoolam Recreation Centre (LSRRC) at Pointe Aux Piments
• Sir Anerood Jugnauth Recreation Centre (SAJRC) at Riambel

Recreation centres host residential holiday camps for senior citizens as well as persons with disabilities. Provisions are made for accommodation in double bedrooms, food and beverages, indoor entertainment, swimming pool activities, outdoor tours in coach and targeted empowerment talk sessions. The aim is to ensure a comfortable, safe, recreational and hospitable retreat to elderly people and disabled residents and thus giving them opportunities to cut off from their daily routine life.

The Welfare and Elderly Persons Protection Unit (WEPPU) has been set up following the enactment of The Protection of Elderly Persons Act 2005.
The main functions of the Welfare and Elderly Persons Protection Unit are to:

• Deal with complaints from elderly persons who are in need of assistance or protection. Two hotlines are available : 172 and 199 (24/7)
• Organise public awareness and sensitization campaigns on the rights of the elderly and the need to provide them with assistance and protection.

The National Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) Strategic and Plan 2022-2026 was launched by the Prime Minister in March 2023 in the presence of the Minister of Health and Wellness and the Minister of Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity. The Ministry of Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity (Social Security and National Solidarity Division) has been entrusted the responsibility to spearhead Strategic Objective 7 as this Ministry deals with legislation, policies and regulations regarding elderly persons. Meetings are ongoing; discussions have started on the review of the Protection of Elderly Persons Act (PEPA).
