一旦患有認知障礙症的長者是否甚麼都做不來,只能被動地接受訓練以延緩退化?

其實他們能夠做到的比大家想像中更多!

本計劃集合了一羣患有認知障礙症的長者,一起經營網上商店「智好生活士多」,他們幫忙一起構思、製作、包裝、宣傳和售賣天然家居生活用品。由於在過程中已溶入了認知訓練元素,長者在不知不覺間已經歷了有關認知訓練;能力感和滿足感均得以提升,又可獲回饋銷售所得的收益,可謂相得益彰。計劃亦會邀請社區人士加入「士多」團隊,一起製作和推廣產品,增加彼此的了解、接納和協作,讓社區人士看見長者不一樣的面貌。

Most people believe that the elderly will be incapable and can do nothing once they have dementia. But is it really the truth?

What they can do is absolutely beyond our imagination and expectation.

“Mind Delight Online Store” is an online shopping platform, which operates with assistance from the elderly with dementia. They will help with idea brainstorming, product packaging, product promotion and selling household items made from natural materials. Meanwhile, the sales income will be used to benefit themselves by buying products or activities they want. Furthermore, a series of cognitive training elements will be integrated into their jobs to make them conduct the cognitive training unconsciously in their daily routine. On top of that, we will invite suitable volunteers to join the online store team and collaborate with the elderly on product promotion. Different parties are expected to deepen their understanding, acceptance and cooperation with each other. Ultimately, people in communities are supposed to see a stunning personal image of the elderly.
