Center improvement project.

"Helping Hand Cheung Muk Tau Holiday Centre for the Old" has been renamed as "Helping Hand Cheung Muk Tau Holiday Centre for the Elderly" on 1 October 2021. Since its opening in 1993, some of the facilities have been gradually worn out over the years. Fortunately, the Lotteries Fund approved the funding for a major renovation project to commence in January 2021. Immediately after receiving funding from the Jockey Club Charities Trust to carry out a comprehensive upgrade and improvement project, the Centre is expected to have a new look for the elderly in mid-2023.

 

Additional demonstration rooms for "elderly with cognitive impairment" and "frail elderly".

In addition to the above outdoor and swimming pool improvement works, the side of the small fish pond will be transformed into a multi-sensory garden with different kinds of plants and flowers, so that the elderly can enjoy more green scenery. The indoor facilities, activity areas and guest rooms of the Center have also been completely renovated. The existing activity rooms will be converted into multi-functional activities such as cooking class, tea ceremony room, interactive game room and sensory stimulation room. Two of the guest rooms will be equipped with smart technology and furniture, and will be set up as demonstration rooms for the elderly with cognitive impairment and the frail elderly.
