About the Care School
A talent-cultivation base teaching for Taiwan’s long-term care
The Care For Taiwan (CFT) Care School cultivates care professionals, delivers innovative community/home integrated long-term care, and advances the All In One (AIO) integrated care model. We believe good care is not just completing services — it is understanding people’s needs, seeing how they live, integrating cross-disciplinary resources, and accompanying everyone to keep living in familiar surroundings.
Facing the care needs of a super-aged society, the Care School develops long-term care courses through four learning maps — courses, practice, certification, and career — so learners not only understand care but turn learning into real ability. We build a talent system from entry to advanced levels, helping more people join care work and making care a profession with long-term growth.
Here, learning is never confined to the classroom. Through the monthly “Hands-on Intensive,” we lead learners into real service settings — in human connection, hands-on practice, and deep reflection, forging the solid, real skills that truly meet care needs.
Problematic
The problems we see
As care needs keep rising, on the care front lines we see:
1. A single career path: care work often lacks clear growth paths and development opportunities, making long-term commitment hard to attract.
2. A pay-and-value gap: care work matters more every year, but its professional value is still not fully seen.
3. Scattered professions: medical, care, community, and family lack integration; cross-disciplinary collaboration is hard to build and connect.
That is why we cultivate talent — to build person-centered thinking and communication skills that keep pace with the times.

Learning Pathway
Talent cultivation system
Four learning maps with AIO at the core
Care is more than one skill — it takes understanding people’s needs, accumulating field experience, and growing into a professional who can think independently and integrate resources. The Care School builds a step-by-step talent system around the AIO person-centered care model, combining course learning, hands-on practice, certification, and career development.

From learning to practice: a complete path for care talent
Whether you are new to long-term care, serving on the front lines, or a family caregiver building care skills, you can find a growth path that fits your learning stage.
Course Map
Building care knowledge and professional learning
Care capability comes from systematic learning and steady accumulation. The course map integrates AIO courses, the eight modules, hands-on intensives, the co-learning circle, and the mind-body-spirit annual gathering — guiding learners from care philosophy outward to build a complete professional foundation and practical ability.
Learning features
AIO courses
Centered on the All In One model — from person-centered care and whole-person support to community symbiosis — building complete care thinking and practice methods.
Eight modules
Spanning an introduction to person-centered care, comfort-care techniques, holistic healing, whole-person elder care, whole-person dementia care, whole-person disability care, innovative community-symbiosis care, the co-learning circle, and module PLUS topics — building professional knowledge and cross-disciplinary perspective from many angles.
Hands-on intensives
Turning classroom “knowledge” into hands-on “technique,” then — through repeated practice of care movements — refining technique into internalized “skill” that truly serves at the critical moment.
Co-learning activities
Course sharing, themed exchanges, book clubs, and cross-disciplinary discussion — a care community that supports each other and keeps growing.

CFT Space
The Robinson Space
The Care School’s training grounds
Once an independent bookstore that promised to “stay open for ten years,” this place was donated by the Robinson Group as a shared public space for all. The Care School carries on that goodwill, turning it into a co-learning base that breaks the traditional classroom mold and emphasizes a sense of everyday life. How this space supports our partners in deep co-learning:
An unconventional classroom for flexible thinking
The space keeps the reading and conversation atmosphere unique to an independent bookstore. In a relaxed, nature-surrounded setting, learners shed rigid teaching frameworks and engage with a more open, flexible mindset.
Side by side, grounding knowledge in daily life
With cypress tatami rooms, private rooms, and cooking facilities, learners cook, dine, talk, and stay together here. Care experiences from across Taiwan become shared nourishment through life-filled interaction.
Community symbiosis, the most authentic care practice
The space is fully open to the Xiwei community; local elders and children come and go freely. Its many uses embody the belief in “symbiosis,” letting learners feel the most genuine human connection and companionship.
We believe that the encounters and exchanges between people are themselves the very heart of learning care.
