Dementia 認知障礙症

老人癡呆症（港稱：認知障礙症）

The Chinese Community Wellbeing Society has worked for several years on raising awareness about dementia within the Chinese community and bringing attention to the dementia needs of the Chinese community to the wider health and VCSE sector.

華康會多年來致力提高華人社區對老人癡呆症的認識，並將華人社區的老人癡呆症患者的需求帶到社會，讓大眾關注到他們的健康、義工服務、社會和社企等各方面的需要。

With 1 in every 14 of the population aged 65 years and over in the UK being diagnosed with Dementia (and with rates being higher in BAME communities), it is now more important than ever to give the Chinese community the support they need to face dementia.

全英國 65 歲及以上的人口當中，每 14 人就有 1 人被確診患有老人癡呆症（黑人、亞裔和少數族裔社群的發病率更高），現在較之於以往任何時間都更需要為華人社區提供所需的支援，該他們更好地認識和面對老人癡呆症。

Dementia Library

CCWS is proud to own a dementia library with a range of culturally
appropriate books and games for the East and Southeast Asian community donated from organisations based in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

Aimed at being a place for people with dementia and their loved ones to relax and socialise with others, the resources at our library have been specially chosen to stimulate brains and foster connectivity.

The library which is based at the Vassall Centre is currently open on Mondays from between 10am – 2pm.

‘Power of Music’ Sessions

CCWS are also currently running a music project for ESEA people living with dementia and their carers funded by the Power of Music Fund.

The project aims to enrich the lives of ESEA people living with dementia and their carers through the running of monthly culturally sensitive music sessions where people living with dementia and their carers are given the opportunity to listen and sing to music and reminisce about the past.
