The Center for Health and Well-Being Promotion for Older People (CHWPOP), Faculty of Nursing, Chulalongkorn University, together with the Human Resources Management Office, held the opening ceremony of the “Chula Day Care: Caring for Seniors for a Happy Retirement” project for its second year under the Chula Preventive Health Care initiative. The event took place on March 11, 2026, at the Center for Health and Well-being Promotion for Older People, 10th Floor, Borommaratchachonnani Srisataphat Building, Faculty of Nursing, Chulalongkorn University. 

Prof. Dr. Kanaphon Chanhom, Vice President of the University, presided over the opening ceremony. Mr. Pokai Sriratanobhas, Assistant to the President, along with Chulalongkorn faculty members and staff, also attended. 

The event included a panel discussion titled “The Value of Day Care from the Perspective of Family Caregivers of the Elderly.” The discussion provided a platform to exchange experiences and perspectives on the role of day care services for older adults, which is an important approach for supporting elderly care and easing the burden on family caregivers. 

The Chula Day Care: Caring for Seniors for a Happy Retirement project focuses on providing daytime care services for elderly family members of Chulalongkorn personnel. The program follows the concept of person-centered care. Activities include promoting self-care skills, cognitive stimulation, muscle-strengthening exercises, and providing holistic health consultations for seniors and their families. 

In addition, the Center for Health and Well-being Promotion for Older People also serves as a learning and training hub for elderly caregivers, helping them develop appropriate knowledge and caregiving skills. This initiative aims to enhance the quality of life for older adults and their families, enabling them to live happy and meaningful lives in an aging society.
