With Hong Kong's aging population, there is an urgent need for high-quality elderly care. While various training courses have emerged, most of them are based on foreign publications, making it difficult to find relevant books tailored to the unique nursing situation in Hong Kong. Foreign nursing books also lack practical nursing skills, making it challenging for local caregivers to learn. To address these training needs, this book focuses on teaching elderly care skills, providing 59 commonly used procedures specifically for Hong Kong's nursing context. The book uses simple, clear, and systematic checklists instead of lengthy paragraphs. Each checklist explains a regular nursing procedure, allowing readers to easily simulate learning and master the skills. There is also a self-assessment section to track progress during the learning period. Trainers can use the checklist to set training and assessment levels, ensuring consistent learning outcomes and quality training. This book is suitable for professional and home caregivers to enhance their elderly care skills, and can also serve as a practical teaching tool for trainers. This assessment manual is part of the ""True Care for the Elderly"" series, which includes self-study manuals for beginners and advanced learners, as well as an ""Elderly Care Skills Education Video Series"" demonstrating care skills.

In the information society of the 21st century, cultural boundaries of different regions influence and overlap with each other, making the world change at an astonishing speed, including our food traditions. The vast land of China has its own unique food culture, which was brought to a small city known as Hong Kong by immigrants in different eras. In addition, the internationalization process has introduced a large number of foreign elements, making Hong Kong's food culture an amalgamation of world food history. We often eat casually and carelessly, without thinking about the origins of what we eat; what kind of twists and turns did those dishes go through to become what they are today? Where do those eating habits come from and what traditions do they represent? Eating should not only be done with the mouth, but also with the heart; although eating with just the mouth can also amuse our taste buds, eating with the heart can bring more fun.
