Overview
Wan Ching Yuen Centre for the senior citizens, is under the aegis of the Than Hsiang Buddhist Welfare Association. This Home was founded by Venerable Wei Wu on a charitable basis following the Buddhist spirit of "benevolence, compassion, joy, and equanimity".

The primary aim of the Home is to provide personal quality care of the aged whereby they can lead a happy, meaningful and useful life. The subsequent aims are to provide facilities for the Buddhist fraternity to cultivate Buddhist teachings, as well as to enable and relieve working children the problem of caring for their aged parents while they are at work.

At Hogan Road
The home started on a humble note on 1st May 1994 in a double storey bungalow house in Hogan Road, Penang, with a maximum capacity of 30 residents. It provided daily living and health care services for the residents. A variety of social and religious activities were organised to enhance the quality and enrich the spiritual life of the residents.

At Bayan Lepas
Encouraged and motivated by generous public support, Venerable Wei Wu, being a missionary, had the foresight to expand and develop the Home to meet the demands of the rapidly growing aging population.

A new seven-storey building was built adjacent to the existing Than Hsiang Temple in Bayan Lepas in 1995 and was completed in 1997. This was made possible through the generous donations and support from the public. We moved to the new building on 5th July 1998 and occupied the second and third floors. This new place has enough provision for a maximum of 60 residents, 6 day care and respite care for senior citizens.
