Vilma Masís Acosta

Vilma Masís Acosta, at 86 years old, exemplifies the spirit of independence and community involvement among seniors in Heredia, Costa Rica. After moving from Curridabat to be closer to her late husband's family, she remains active in local activities and the Universidad Nacional. Benefiting from a teleassistance program designed for older adults living alone, Vilma appreciates the security it provides, especially at night, allowing her to maintain her autonomy while having access to emergency support.
