As the elderly generally prefer living at their own neighbourhood, elderly services therefore are in short supply. Barrier-free facilities in the community have much room for improvement. Frontline services are severely short of labour. The elderly in poverty accounts for nearly 30% of the poor population while schedule for universal retirement protection has yet to be fixed. Will the future life of the elderly be any different from now? What we have to prepare now in order to have a quality life in our later years? We will gather representatives of the sector and fellow professionals at a seminar entitled ‘The Future Home and Community Care Services for the Elderly’ to explore and discuss.

Following a people-centric approach to analyse and offer feasible solutions, we will publish a book, scheduled around end of 2017, which covers management of the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia, pharmacological treatment and medical, legal and financial preparation, along with appropriate ways to ease patients’ behavioural and emotional feelings.

Adopting an active caring approach, we provide thorough home care and rehabilitation services to the elders with moderate to severe impairment. Bearing the wellness of patients and the society in mind, we help slow down deteriorating functional capacity in the elders with multi-disciplinary assessment and early intervention to enable them to live a comfortable and satisfactory life.
