Community Care Services for the Elderly
Shatin Integrated Home Care Services Centre
Tai Po Integrated Home Care Services Centre
Objectives:
- To implement the concepts of “Ageing in Place” and “Continuum of Care” by providing community care services for the elderly, persons with disabilities and individuals and families in need, in order to maintain and enhance their self-care and cognitive abilities, enjoy a dignified, independent, happy and connected life in a familiar community, and avoid premature institutionalisation; the Centre also provides appropriate support for carers to relieve their caring stress.
Target Group of Services:
1. Ordinary Cases:
- Elderly aged 60 or above living in the district
- Persons with disabilities
- Individuals and families with social needs
2. Mild Impairment Cases:
- aged 60 or above living in the community and assessed to be of mild impairment by the designated assessment tool
3. Frail Cases:
