Stair Machine - Helping Friends connect with the community
Ying Ying Xuan is committed to providing comprehensive care and treatment for the elderly to ensure their safety and comfort. To solve the mobility difficulties of the elderly, we use stairlifts to facilitate their going up and down the stairs. This machine is simple in design and easy to operate. It can safely transport the elderly from one floor to another, allowing them to move more easily and perform daily activities independently.
In addition, our team of therapists also uses a variety of professional therapeutic equipment to help the elderly. These equipment include physical rehabilitation therapy equipment, speech and memory training equipment, etc. Our therapists have received professional training and are able to use these equipment to conduct precise assessments and treatments to help the elderly restore their physical functions and improve their quality of life.
The story of the stair machine
創辦人職業治療師陳先生,他深知身體功能障礙對個人生活的限制和困擾。在他工作的深水埗社區中,有一位名叫李婆婆的居民,由於年邁和腿腳不便,她無法自由地上下樓梯。這讓她感到非常沮喪,因為她無法輕鬆進出自己唐樓的住處,也無法享受社區的活動和資源。
陳先生深感李婆婆的困境,決定採取行動來幫助她。他了解到樓梯機可以幫助李婆婆克服上下樓梯的困難。
陳生與李奶奶進行了詳細的交流,了解她的需求和期望。他發現李奶奶非常熱衷早上到酒樓飲茶,但由於無法輕易地上下樓梯,她無法到酒樓飲茶同街坊見面交流。陳生決定利用樓梯機的機會,幫助李奶奶實現她小小的願望。
一個晴朗的早晨,陳生連同義工和李婆婆一同乘坐樓梯機,離開了李婆婆的住所。他們前往了社區附近的酒樓,李婆婆在陳生的幫助下,輕鬆地到達酒樓,與相約好的街坊飲茶,談個不亦樂乎。
在回家的路上,陳生注意到李婆婆的興奮和喜悅。她開始向陳生講述她以前疫情前的愉快經歷,分享她飲茶時相聚的喜悅和收穫。她感謝陳生和樓梯機項目,讓她能夠再次享受落樓飲茶的樂趣。
創辦人陳先生深受李婆婆的故事所感動,他意識到樓梯機不僅僅是一個交通工具,更是帶來自由和機會的關鍵。通過樓梯機,不僅幫助居民解決了行動障礙,還為他們打開了參與社區和提升生活質素的大門。
陳先生希望更多的人加入這個項目,為身體功能障礙的居民提供支持和關愛,如果你有興趣加入樓梯機這個義工活動,歡迎與我們聯絡,治療師會為義工提供全面的培訓及頒發證書予出席樓梯機活動的義工。
