Training Courses for Dementia Care
With the generous support from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant, JCCPA continues to organise the training programme for caregivers.
The sharing session “Home Safety & Exercise” was successfully conducted by Physiotherapist I, Mr. Ben Chan on 17 February. Mr Chan shared with more than 80 family caregivers regarding how to design a home environment that better supports the care for individuals with dementia. He also introduced home exercises such as grip strength exercises (抓手操) and stretching exercises (伸展操) that can help strengthen muscles and promote brain health for people with dementia. During the session, Mr. Chan also provided many practical suggestions to caregivers, such as how to engage people with dementia to use assistive devices and so forth.
Registration for the caregiver training course in March 2024 is now open. The March course “Understanding the Distressed Behaviour of People with Dementia” will be held on 16 March (Saturday) at 10:00 am, by our Service Manager cum Social Worker Ms Vivian Mak.

JCCPA offers regular training courses for family caregivers, focusing on equipping them with the skills and tactics to take care of people with dementia effectively and providing valuable solution on caring difficulties. This may help relieve the pressure of family members and help them go on the care journey with empathy.

Celebrating the Year of the Dragon
On the eve of Chinese New Year, we organised a festive party to celebrate the occasion with our elderly members. The party was filled with enjoyable activities that not only commemorated the new year but also incorporated with reality orientation and therapeutic elements. The programme kicked off with a question and answer completion on new year customs, making New Year decorations, singing New Year songs to welcome the arrival of the New Year, distributing lucky bags from the God of Fortune and tasting festive snacks.
