The initiative also aimed to foster positive attitudes toward interacting with the elderly, promote intergenerational interaction, raise awareness of NCD prevention behaviors in older adults, and develop adolescent leaders for health care within the community.

Additionally, the project sought to establish a network for referring elderly individuals with special health needs to the Nursing and Midwifery Clinic at the Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University (Warm Community Nursing Clinic). This clinic, located at the Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University Dormitory, Bang Khun Non, was established to increase access to services and reduce overcrowding in hospitals.
