On March 27, the Balcatta Community Hub came alive with Vietnamese culture during Chung Wah Community Care's exciting "Vietnamese Open Day." Fourteen energetic Vietnamese seniors joined in the festivities, showcasing CWCC's commitment to the community through music, delicious food, and joyful laughter. It was a fantastic celebration of connection and culture!
From the moment they arrived, participants felt right at home, welcomed with friendly faces and bilingual assistance from the CWCC team. In lively information-sharing sessions, staff showcased a treasure trove of services, including home care, transport assistance, and fun day activities. The highlight? CWCC's commitment to culturally tailored services that truly meet the needs of diverse communities. It was a fantastic celebration of connection and understanding! The Community Hub has several Vietnamese-speaking care workers and volunteers who provide one-on-one support to clients. Vietnamese interpreters are present at all CWCC sessions and activities to ensure smooth and effective communication.
CWCC offers home care services with Vietnamese-speaking staff, creating a familiar environment for clients in their later years. The organization's quarterly magazine, "Living Stronger," and YouTube channel provide Vietnamese content, making helpful information accessible to the community.
CWCC has served the Vietnamese community for decades, cultivating the largest Vietnamese seniors day group in Western Australia and offering culturally enriching services like concerts, dance classes, and day trips. These initiatives help preserve cultural identity and provide emotional support.
At the Open Day, seniors received a Vietnamese version of the CWCC services guide, which clearly states that Vietnamese-language assistance is available by calling 08 9328 3988. CWCC warmly invites more Vietnamese seniors to join this inclusive community—where every familiar voice is heard and every need is understood.
