Jockey Club Caring Communities for Dementia Campaign
In this campaign, we have developed the guarding-tooth device, using the bluetooth and crowd-sourcing technology, to assist caregivers to search for the people with dementia when they get lost.
Regarding the fifth-wave of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, we introduced ibeacon distribution by courier to avoid public gathering and keep everyone in a safe condition. Simultaneously, online videos and teaching materials were prepared to assist caregivers to finish the application process as well as getting know more about dementia at their own place. Around 20 caregivers have received ibeacon in this month.
For the upcoming distribution arrangement, please visit our website for more details ( https://www.jccpa.org.hk/en/projects/ccd/ ).

"1+2" Family Caregivers Training Course
With the support from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant, JCCPA has launched a new programme “1+2 Family Caregivers Training Courses for Dementia Care” in 2022.
The half-day training session: nursing skills was successfully held on 19 March. Our registered nurse, Ms. Bonnie Li shared with over 110 caregivers regarding the nursing skills of pressure sore, urinary tract infection and how to feed the people with dementia and what we need to pay attention on etc. She also addressed various enquires from caregivers with practical suggestions during the talk.
In next season, the first training course will be held on 23 April (Sat). We will hold a one-day intensive training course which introduce some basic knowledge of dementia and some tips on taking care with the people with dementia in different aspects.
