MGM cares for the underprivileged and other people in need for the promotion of an inclusive society. Last year the Company joined hands with Caritas Macau to organize a training program for Golden Lion Volunteer Team members to learn how to take care of people diagnosed with dementia, so they would become more well-equipped for a wider range of volunteering service.
With the same good cause, MGM recently collaborated with Accessible Travel Agency of Caritas Macau to organize the “Golden Lion Tour for Elderly with Dementia,” taking dementia patients on a tour of MGM hotels and Macau’s major attractions.
Held from May till November, the tour allowed dementia patients to appreciate new wonders and revisit old places in the company of family members, staff of elderly care centers and MGM volunteers.
MGM hopes that this innovative program, with an estimation of 500 people participating, will enrich the lives of dementia patients and their caregivers. It is also part of the Company’s effort to increase public awareness of their needs and step up the initiative to build a dementia-friendly society.
