Old age could bring a lot of physical conditions that increase the chances of developing in a sense of un-worthiness by limiting one’s capability.  Senior immigrants are more likely to fall victim of being trapped in the sense of unworthiness with the many challenges of being new comer.
The York Region Senior Wellness Centre believes seniors are valuable members of society.   It is important for seniors to be active contributors to our society for as long as possible.  The centre believes education is the key to increase our seniors’ capacity to become a valuable contributing member within their own community.  Through educational seminar, the Centre wants to install self confident to seniors, encourage meaningful communications between seniors and their family members and reduce the chance of self-isolation.  As a result, the Centre has organized a “Know How Your House Works” workshop

因年紀漸長或長期病患而影響到活動能力，很多長者的自我價值觀也會受到影響。 一 些長者可能因覺得自己一無事處而失去自我價值和產生自我孤立。新移民的長者在一個陌生的環境中，尤其容易掉入這個錯誤的想法中。

恒福會深信長者作為社會中的重要成員，應保持對社會的貢獻和應有的活力，也能幫助長者從新建立自信。

因此恒福會舉辦《嫗叟增值, 安享遐齡》生活講座之 《認 識你的樓房》。由認可驗房師來介紹加拿大樓房的結構和保養。希望提高長者對加拿大樓房結構和保養的認識，使他們繼續成為家中有貢獻的一分子，從而建立他們 的自信，提高與家人溝通的機會，更可防止長者自我孤立。
