🀄 Why Mahjong Matters in Aged Care 🧠 At St Vincent’s Care, we believe that keeping the mind active is just as important as caring for the body and that’s where games like Mahjong make a real difference. 🤔 What is Mahjong? Mahjong is a traditional Chinese tile game, played with 144 tiles, where players match suits and build winning hands. It’s social, strategic, and stimulating—a perfect blend for aged care environments. 💜 Why we love it: ✔️ Encourages memory and pattern recognition ✔️ Improves concentration and decision-making ✔️ Reduces risk of cognitive decline ✔️ Promotes social interaction and emotional wellbeing Thanks to incredible volunteers like Camelia, our residents enjoy weekly Mahjong sessions that spark conversation, lift moods, and strengthen minds, one tile at a time. 💬 “I’ve seen residents light up during games, it brings joy and keeps them thinking. It’s beautiful to witness,” says Camelia. Why not try this at home with Mum and Dad. #StVincentsCare #AgedCareEducation #CognitiveHealth (fb)
