Dragon Boat Festival Event
As the Dragon Boat Festival approaches, our center organized a festive rice dumpling (zongzi) making activity. Many of our residents have experience making zongzi in their younger days, so they handled the task with ease. We were also delighted to welcome members of Wai Yin Association, including Ms. Heidi Chu, Ms. Anne Heung, Ms. Ellen Wong , Ms. Chiu Yi Leung, Ms. Phoebe Pang, Ms. Penny Yeung, and Ms. Maggie Lee, who joined our residents in making zongzi.
This activity not only evoked fond memories of the Dragon Boat Festival and reminded everyone of the festive spirit, but also served as a cognitive exercise, enhancing hand-eye coordination and spatial awareness. Finally, everyone enjoyed tasting their creations, fully immersing themselves in the festive atmosphere






Cantonese Opera Volunteer Performance
It was honored to invite the Cantonese opera volunteer team to deliver an exciting performance for our elder members. The familiar melodies captivated the elderly, who not only clapped along to the rhythm but also sang together, creating a joyful atmosphere.
We sincerely thank the volunteers for their heartfelt performance, bringing smiles and warmth to our elder members. If any groups are interested in visiting or collaborating on activities, please feel free to contact us to discuss arrangements!

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 third seminar of this year, titled “Non-Pharmacological Intervention Methods and Effects,” was successfully held on 17th May. It was led by our Service Manager Ms. Vivian Mak. She shared insights with over 222 care partners on non-pharmacological intervention methods and their effects, addressing the psychological and emotional needs of individuals with dementia.
