Nantou County launches elderly-friendly community programs

In observance of International Day of Older Persons, the Nantou County Health Bureau is promoting an elderly-friendly community initiative across 13 townships. The program focuses on themes of respect and intergenerational interaction through various activities.

Health services include blood pressure monitoring and health recording at community hubs. Dynamic activities feature elderly mentors teaching traditional millet harvesting to schoolchildren, alongside physical exercises and rhythmic music sessions. Static activities include flower arrangement, paper tearing art, and traditional food preparation such as making mochi and bamboo shoot buns to promote cognitive and motor skills.
