Service Objectives

Our goal is to focus on developing services for a new generation of seniors: creating new and appropriate activities to attract the retiring generation; using talks, printed media, volunteer experiences, case counseling, etc. to build synergy amongst members, peers, relatives and staff members in order to help consolidate self-understanding, life values and experiences, thereby helping our service users to live their golden years in confidence and fulfillment.

Service Contents

1. Lifelong Learning

Promote lifelong learning and organize courses on culture, arts, physical fitness, computer skills, and be known as one of the most comprehensive life learning schemes for seniors in the district.

2. Senior Volunteer and Services

In recent years, our Centre has begun a Concern for the Elderly Outreach Project. The senior volunteers are trained by our social workers; they make home visits to elders in need in the |Jordan district, and set up a promotion station in the neighbourhood during the promotion week to reach out to hidden elders, and to convey the idea of mutual help to passers-by. The project’s outcome will help establish a support network for the disadvantaged elders in the community.
