The Fundamental of Nursing Department provides academic services for nurses and elders/ families in community. The department has established a “ Wellness Center for the Elderly”.  The goals of the center are to promote self-care agency and to decrease dependent status of elders leading to improved quality of life in both physical and psychosocial  aspects.  Responding to an upcoming aging society of Thailand, the department plans to establish a “Center of Excellence for the Elderly”.  The goal of the centre is to improve the quality of life of elders and their families. The activities of the center include advancing knowledge on caring for the aging population through research, facilitating educational programs for nursing students, nurses, and people in community, providing health services for elders and families, and supporting cultural values.
