What Families and Residents Say

My mother has been on the Residence and Lifestyle Plan for seven months now. What surprised me most was how quickly she found her rhythm there. She had been quite withdrawn since moving out of our old family flat, but within a few weeks she was talking about the people in her mahjong group as though she had known them for years.

I come from Kowloon twice a week for the Cultural Studio. The calligraphy sessions are led at a pace I can actually keep up with, which has not been my experience elsewhere. The opera afternoons are the highlight for me — there are a few of us who really know the repertoire and the conversation after is as enjoyable as the listening.

I was sceptical at first — at my age you become cautious about new arrangements. But the Companion Circles have been exactly what they described. We meet for tea on Monday and Wednesday mornings, play a few rounds of cards, and talk. Nothing more than that. But it has made a real difference to the week.

The practical side has been handled better than I expected. Fees are what they said they would be, and when I call with a question I reach a person who knows who my father is. There is no being passed around. I realise that sounds like a low bar, but it has not been my experience with other places we considered.

The room is comfortable and well kept. I brought a few of my own things to make it feel more familiar and that was no problem at all. I eat better here than I have in years because I no longer have to think about it. The view from the veranda in the morning is worth the trip to Stanley on its own.

My mother joined the Cultural Studio after my father passed. She had been keeping to herself a lot, and we were worried. Ka-Wing, who runs the studio, was particularly patient with her in the first few weeks. She did not push, but she made sure my mother always had somewhere to sit and someone to talk to. It helped more than I can say.
