「多得康復期間，近近地去中心做八段錦，風雨不改，就算隻腳無力，個人凍到要著住羽絨，都堅持要去做。做下做下，血氣運行得好啲，手腳有番啲力，羽絨都唔洗再著，睇住自己一步一步咁進步，老婆同導師都開心，自己就更開心。宜家我行得走得，都周圍鼓勵啲街坊去中心做八段錦！」

「我從來無諗過啲藥會令到我乾咳，我一直以為係自己感冒唔好，咳得犀利咪去睇醫生食藥；我同醫生講過水腫，醫生俾藥膏我咪照搽，我成日仲以為係自己個腎有事。好在藥劑師話我知啲藥有副作用，寫埋信俾我去見醫生，唔係我都唔知點同醫生講；轉咗新藥之後即刻無咗咳，多咗小便，水腫亦都慢慢無咗。而家瞓好咗，精神好咗，成個人都舒服晒，多咗參加活動，個人都開心啲！好多謝房協安排呢個服務俾我，如果唔係而家仲係好似之前咁。」

「我自己長期病，對眼唔好，要照顧太太，好少去得遠。你地上門教咗好多健康知識，又鼓勵我地多做運動。現在，我血壓和血糖都好咗好多，唔使加藥又唔使通波仔！我自己好咗，我太太仲由瞓床到而家行得返，我照顧她都輕鬆咗好多。」
