Elderly learning exercise with volunteers

A team of Connect ACEs together with a group of volunteers conducted elderly home visit and organized various workshops to help raise their awareness on fall prevention.

During home visits, volunteers conducted home safety assessments about fall risk. Connect ACEs and volunteers also held different sessions to teach elderly about doing exercise and to play some body movement games in order to enhance their muscular strength.

終於完成了自己籌備的活動!活動後才發現長者跌倒風險原來比想像中高。我們準備了四節的活動,分別是探訪獨居長者;到訪油麻地資源中心;玩遊戲和情景題。雖然活動的準備還未算完美,但很高興活動中衆多老友記都精靈活潑,反應十分熱烈。

能夠向長者灌輸防跌意識實在十分有意義,除了能降低他們在日常生活中跌倒的機會,更能為他們帶來歡樂的時刻,令他們生活增添色彩。期望將來可與更多機構合作,令更多長者吸收防跌資訊。
