On 30 October 2024, the Home Nursing Service of Mothers' Union Ha Wan Integrated Elderly Services Centre organized the “Elderly Day 3rd Sports for Senior Citizens” for our residents. Through organizing sports competitions to maintain the residents' vitality and mobility, the residents were able to increase the opportunities of socializing and interacting with each other so as to promote group cooperation and to experience the benefits of sports together.
As the aging of the elderly could be slowed down and their health could be maintained for a longer period of time if they could keep on exercising every day, the Centre had attached great importance to the mobility of the residents in their daily care. In order to maintain the residents' vitality, morning exercises and group training activities were organized every day to help the residents to maintain their health and to enhance their social life. On the eve of the Sports Day, the Physiotherapist provided special training to the residents so as to increase their sense of satisfaction during the official competition and to maintain their good habit of doing exercise.
The residents were very enthusiastic in the field day and performed well in the competitions. Their family members and colleagues encouraged and cheered for them and the atmosphere was very lively, with cheers and shouts of surprise, which made the residents very happy.
