Residential Services
We manage six senior homes in Hong Kong and an integrated elderly home in Zhaoqing that serves Hong Kong residents.
We operate three self-care homes, providing accommodation to elderly who can care for themselves but require housing due to family, financial or other issues. We also run three nursing homes, which provide services such as housing, meals, nursing care, personal care, rehabilitation, and counselling to the elderly who are frail or suffering from dementia and are unable to care for themselves.
In Zhaoqing, we operate and manage a large-scale comprehensive nursing home to offer retired Hong Kong elders (including those on the waiting list for subsidised nursing home and those suffering from dementia) and immediate and low-cost new retirement option.
