Our Students Say
"Yesterday, I began my volunteer activities at a nursing home, and this experience has transformed my perspective on life. I was excited and captivated by the unique stories of the residents. Listening to their tales—ranging from love to struggles—helped me appreciate every moment and feel genuine happiness in simple interactions.
I also learned the importance of empathy and openness. I learned to strengthen my patience, realizing that being attentive and ready in any situation is essential. Everyone faces different life challenges, and understanding their experiences made me more grateful. This experience taught me that life is short, and we should make the most of it with love and care for others."
Learning Objective
Higher Certificate in Community Care Support program is designed for students who have completed the Certificate in Elder Caregiving Course - Caring for Walking Seniors, Wheelchair bound, Bedbound Seniors.
This advanced program comprises specialized modules that delve deeper into specific areas of eldercare, enhancing caregivers' competencies to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.
​
As part of the final phase of the Higher Certificate in Community Care Support program, students will engage in workplace learning through voluntary service. This provides an opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience while giving back to society by offering their free time to assist and interact with elderly residents.
​
Volunteering in eldercare settings allows students to deepen their understanding of aging, caregiving, and health-related needs, enriching their personal development. It also provides valuable insights into elder care practices, which may benefit their caregiving roles at home.
More importantly, volunteers contribute meaningfully to the well-being and quality of life of the elderly by supporting care teams and enhancing social interaction. Their presence brings warmth, dignity, and companionship to residents, making a lasting impact within the community.
