\"An old person in a home is like a treasure of the family.\" This heartfelt sentiment by Lu Fengxuan, a native of Macao, encapsulates the spirit behind the innovative elderly care services being implemented in Hengqin. In 2019, the General Union of Neighborhood Associations of Macao established a presence in Hengqin, bringing with them the successful model of \"Macao-style\" elderly care.
Lu Fengxuan leveraged her experience to create an environment where seniors in Hengqin can enjoy a joyful life in their later years. Beyond just care, she fostered a strong sense of community among the elderly residents, encouraging them to share their skills and contribute ideas for the development of their community.
This initiative not only enhances the quality of life for seniors but also sets Hengqin apart as a pioneer in implementing Macao-style elderly care services within China's Greater Bay Area. By blending care with community engagement, Hengqin is setting a new standard for elderly services, inspired by Macao's proven approach.
