Taiwan has officially entered a super-aged society, with seniors aged 65 and older now accounting for more than 20% of the population, and the number of families providing long-term care continues to rise. Faced with what seems like a long, endless journey, how can we avoid being overwhelmed by stress while maintaining our energy and love to walk alongside our seniors? Let Eden’s diverse long-term care services help!
In Keelung, Auntie Hsiu-Yueh arrives at the dementia support site every day full of energy to “attend class.” Although she used to feel troubled and discouraged by her forgetfulness, her life has become lively and fulfilling since she started attending the site, and her daughter has noticed significant improvement in her condition; In a remote community in Taitung, after Grandma Ah-Hsueh began attending Eden’s day care center, her daily routine became more regular and her nutrition improved. She has also less likely wandering behavior once she returns home. Her daughter-in-law, who cares for her, says, “The pressure has really released a lot.”
Among the various statistics on today’s super-aged society, every single figure represents a cherished one who needs our collective care and compassion. We invite you to support the “Care Service Programs for Older Persons” and stand-by every long-term care family with love—caring for them today means safeguarding our own futures.
