Resident Norbu Dorje, 66, said he considered the center his real home.

"More than 10 staff members take care of us. We have nice meals here. Our dorm is clean and comfortable, and the dorm is equipped with refrigerator, shower and central heating," he said. "I appreciate the support of the government, and we really have a comfortable life here in the center. I never dreamed I'd have such a wonderful life here in this nursing center, and I am not worried for my twilight years at all."
