Programme of Jockey Club Centre for Positive Ageing


The JCCPA was inaugurated in June 2000 and now operates on a self-sufficient basis. It provides quality training to people with dementia to delay the decline in cognitive ability and encourage them to maintain normal social activities. It also helps to relieve stress among family members through supporting services and aids the further development of dementia care through training and research.

In view of the epidemic situation, opening hours and activities arrangements of the centres may be adjusted, service users should contact the centres for enquiry before enrolment and attending the activities.
