In view of a rapidly aging population and a considerable
demand for community support services nowadays, it is timely for
service providers to develop innovative and integrated services
to actuate the concepts of "Aging in Place" (living in
a familiar community), "Community Care" and "Continuum
of Care". The ultimate purpose of these services is to help
the elderly people lead a dignified and respectful life in their
familiar environment for as long as possible; henceforth, a caring
and mutually supportive community.
In the latter half of the year 2002, two newly developed
elderly service units, namely the Lotus Day Care Centre for the
Elderly in Shamshuipo District (with a capacity of 20) and the Chin
Wah Day Care Centre for the Elderly in Kwun Tong District (with
a capacity of 60), commenced their respective operations in June
and December. Both of them integrate well into our existing elderly
service units. Under the current management, the incorporation of
these new units further advances our mission to provide holistic
network of services to the elderly. We hope that the additional
services and the cooperation with different strategic alliances
in the districts will ultimately bring forth a comprehensive and
quality services to the elderly.
