Could schools become a key site for long-term care services program 2.0?

Since 2014, care activities for senior citizens have been held every two months in Nantou’s Chung-hsing Senior High School, allowing senior citizens to enter the campus during weekends and participate in fun activities organized by the school. With a rich and diverse selection of activities running the gamut from sports and music to singing and health care knowledge, Chung-hsing Senior High School is a place brimming with the spirit of care and joint learning.

南投縣中興高中的耆老關懷活動，從103年起，透過每學期為兩個月的耆老活動，讓社區老人走進校園，在周末時間於學校舉辦耆老關懷活動，課程內容包羅萬象，從專業體適能運動課程到樂器學習及歌曲教唱，以及健康護理常識分享，中興高中將在地關懷與互動的精神，發揮到了淋漓盡致，也讓學校在社區的腳色定位上，不僅僅只是一座莘莘學子學習的場所，更是社區銀髮長輩們假日能更活動的場域，也實踐了「老，不應是煩惱，老，更值得照顧好。」的精神。
