For too many older adults, oral care is out of reach. We are determined to change this condition.

At The Fenwick Foundation, we work hard to provide life-enriching, life-supporting and health care initiatives where the need is "under the radar" or not addressed.

We are a 501(c)(3) Public Charity
In 2015-2016, The Fenwick Foundation conducted a pilot to provide oral care and treatment to low-resource older adults living in long-term care centers. We tested different approaches to care and enlisted the support of dentists, other dental professionals and our partners to address the financial and logistical needs of older adults. The pilot taught us that while the financial challenges are understood to be the biggest impediment to oral care, the logistical challenges are a close second. Our broader initiative is designed to bend the cost curve on care and to address the logistical needs of care. Oral care for older adults ... just like for the rest of us.
We are passionate about improving the quality of life and health of older adults,
