\"An old person in a home is like a treasure of the family.\" 💖 In 2019, the General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macao took a significant step by establishing a presence in Hengqin, aiming to revolutionize elderly care services in China's Greater Bay Area.
Lu Fengxuan, a proud native of Macao, spearheaded this initiative by bringing her extensive experience in \"Macao-style\" elderly care to Hengqin. Her approach centers on creating a joyful and engaging environment for seniors, ensuring they lead fulfilling lives in their golden years.
Beyond providing care, Lu has been instrumental in fostering a strong sense of community among the elderly residents. By encouraging them to share their skills and contribute ideas, she has helped cultivate a collaborative and vibrant community where everyone feels valued and heard.
This pioneering initiative not only bridges cultural practices between Macao and Hengqin but also sets a benchmark for elderly care services across the Greater Bay Area. Hengqin is now recognized as a leader in implementing compassionate and community-driven elderly care, inspired by the successful model from Macao.
As the population ages, such innovative approaches are essential in ensuring that our seniors receive the care, respect, and joy they deserve. Hengqin's adoption of Macao's elderly care experience is a shining example of how cross-regional collaboration can lead to meaningful and impactful community development. 🌍✨
