CityU Macau Academy for Seniors Joins Faculty of Health and Wellnessto Host 'Dementia Education' Workshop

   In response to the Macau SAR Government’s elderly service policies, the CityU Academy for Seniors, together with the Faculty of Health and Wellness, organized a “Dementia Education” workshop on April 11, 2026. Around 20 elderly participants learned to recognize early signs of dementia and distinguish it from normal aging. The workshop focused on the government’s “Five Early” goals—early prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and support. Faculty members also introduced brain-healthy exercises such as thumb rotations, fist-pumping motions, and sit-to-stand drills to enhance coordination and cognitive health. Participants actively engaged in discussions and learned self-assessment methods for daily life.
