Shek Mun Home cum Day Care Centre for the Elderly

Located in Sha Tin, Shek Mun Home cum Day Care Centre for the Elderly combines residential and day care services to provide one-stop, high-quality long-term care. A dedicated dementia care zone uses evidence-based environmental and activity design, including sensory stimulation, reminiscence therapy and structured daily routines, to slow cognitive decline and improve older people’s sense of security and quality of life.

The unit also works with the Jockey Club End-of-Life Community Care Project on end-of-life care in residential homes. It promotes holistic care for older people approaching the end of life by strengthening palliative care, advance care planning and family support so residents can spend their final stage of life with dignity and comfort.

Its professional team includes nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, dietitians, speech therapists and visiting registered doctors. Gerontechnology and personalized care plans are integrated across rehabilitation, nutritional meals and psychosocial support. The unit emphasizes person-centred care and actively connects with the community and families to establish a collaborative network.
