19th World Congress on Long-Term Care of Chinese Communities

Cyril and Amy Cheung Aged Care Complex

Sheng Kung Hui Cyril and Amy Cheung Aged Care Complex is the first integrated service complex fully financed, designed and constructed by Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council. It is dedicated to providing one-stop support for older people through residential care, day care, outpatient rehabilitation, community support and other services that respond comprehensively to their needs at different stages.

A key feature is its transitional rehabilitation home centred on stroke rehabilitation, which provides short-term, intensive rehabilitation for stroke patients recently discharged from hospital. A multidisciplinary team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians, nurses and social workers develops an individualized rehabilitation plan for each service user, focusing on independence, mobility, swallowing and communication to help them gradually return to community life.

The Complex provides comprehensive facilities. Residential services offer accommodation, medical and nursing care, rehabilitation training and emotional support in a safe and comfortable environment. The day care centre offers both Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly services and self-financing services, providing frail older people with professional care and social activities while relieving pressure on carers.

Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council Limited (the Welfare Council) embraces its role as a peacemaker. Working closely with Anglican churches and schools, it actively connects with different sectors of society, walks alongside disadvantaged communities, and provides services and assistance to people in need as a witness to the love of Christ and a contribution to a caring society. Since its establishment in 1966, the Welfare Council has provided diverse social services, from caring for infants and young children to supporting older people; from holistic wellbeing to rehabilitation and nursing; from community care to residential care; from life education to end-of-life and palliative care; from social work intervention to multidisciplinary teamwork; and food assistance, community living rooms and transitional housing for grassroots families. It currently has more than 250 service units and member organizations across Hong Kong, Macao and Guangzhou, forming a comprehensive and closely connected service network that provides individual care and holistic support to people in need, helping them transform their lives and live abundantly.
