After a lifetime of hard work and before retiring, many people seek a place where they can slow things down, relax, and enjoy life. Thailand is known for its relaxing atmosphere and stunning natural scenery, it is also a perfect place to de-stress into retirement. Bangkok Nursing Home is a perfect complement to an enjoyable retirement.
It is no surprise that Thailand has become one of the top destinations to have a comfortable and affordable retirement plan. But there is another bonus point of retiring in Thailand, and that is the age-friendly environment.
Thailand and Asia in general have always respected their elders and this helps to foster a good environment for the elderly.
The elderly-friendly community was made possible by Thailand embracing medical technological advancements in caring for the elderly.
With an advanced healthcare system, over one billion people of the world’s population are aged 60 and above, and the number is expected to increase to 2.5 Billion by 2050. Not to mention that Thailand is where the ASEAN Centre for Active Ageing and Innovation (ACAI) is located – a Southeast Asian innovation center, led by Thailand, that aims to promote a healthy aging society.
This makes Thailand a perfect destination for a retirement plan or to attain beneficial aging services while visiting the country.

BOOSC@BNH: Aging with a healthy brain, healthy body
If the ultimate goal is to age happily, brain fatigue after many years of stress is not something to be neglected. Excessive fatigue and daytime sleepiness could accelerate brain aging. Here at BNH, they have just the proper support system to ease it.
A unique service at BNH is the BOOSC Center, which is a collaboration between BNH Group and BOOSC Medical Group (originated from Japan). The method was designed specifically to restore brain function to help reduce brain fatigue and stress and prevent the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.
BOOSC: Brain Oriented Oneself Control System
BOOSC is a method that guides the patient to enjoy their favorite activities, stimulating the five senses to improve brain health.
BOOCS’s core value is that a healthy body comes from a “happy brain,” meaning the brain operates under less pressure and is allowed to do what we enjoy.
For example, BOOCS suggests even though some activities or food are beneficial to the body in the long run if the patient dislikes that particular activity, it will only cause more brain fatigue. Therefore, the individual has a choice to reject that particular food, or activity and focus on what they enjoy instead.
BOOSC prioritizes a life where a patient can live a healthy lifestyle while maintaining patient happiness to reduce brain fatigue.
Patients registering for BOOSC services will receive a consultation from a specialized team of Doctors, Counselors, Nutritionists, and Nurses. The session will provide a consultation not only on nutrition, and lifestyle but also emotional management that will allow the patient to live a more stress-free life.
