AROMASE CSR initiatives are dedicated to uplifting society’s overlooked individuals. This article provides updates and narratives from AROMASE B+ Corner actions in Hong Kong.
The Origin of AROMASE Hong Kong B+ Corner Initiative
Starting in May 2024, we have expanded our mission to Hong Kong. The AROMASE Hong Kong team visited the #Guo Yuzhang Mrs. Nursing Home at Jen Tze Hospital (仁濟醫院郭玉章夫人護理安老院). We crafted handmade flowers as gifts for the elderly, spreading joy and giving caregivers a much-needed short break. ( Learn more about AROMASE B+ Corner）
“Your visit and the lovely flowers you brought have truly warmed my heart. It’s been ages since I’ve experienced such a heartfelt moment. Please, make sure to visit us again,” expressed Mrs. Chen.
This initiative deeply touched nursing home residents, giving AROMASE a chance to build meaningful connections. It highlighted the importance of care, love, respect, and empathy. Interaction with care professionals gave us insights into the elderly’s needs. Hearing residents’ stories and gifting handmade bouquets evoked deep emotions and created unforgettable moments.
B+ Corner: Seniors and their Caregivers
AROMASE Hong Kong team recognizes the struggles and challenges faced by caregivers who are responsible for taking care of their loved ones. The AROMASE B+ Corner aims to provide a much-needed break for caregivers while also promoting social interactions among seniors. Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where seniors can come together, share stories, and participate in various activities. By doing so, we hope to combat the loneliness and isolation that many seniors face, especially those living in nursing homes. At the AROMASE B+ Corner, there are various activities designed for both caregivers and seniors. These include arts and crafts workshops and scalp examination events.
Scalp Examination: Let AROMASE Nurture Your Well-being
We observed that caregivers often neglect their well-being. This isn’t the case everywhere, but we recognize that when caregivers maintain their energy, those they care for can also benefit from that. We introduced this idea and extended it beyond nursing homes and hospitals to the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. We conducted scalp examinations and the AROMASE team shared scalp care knowledge with caregivers and Disneyland staff.
