Elderly Resources Centre
Most elderly people would like to spend the rest of their lives at home, yet home accidents are common among them. Age-related deterioration could be a reason making elderly more prone to home accidents, if the existing home design fails to meet the needs of elderly. In fact, the risk of accidents can be reduced through professional assessment and the modification of existing home environment.
The Elderly Resources Centre (ERC), the first of its kind in Hong Kong, was set up by the Hong Kong Housing Society in 2005. Through education, health screening, professional consultation and research by Occupational Therapist and Social Worker, ERC aims to promote the concept of “age-friendly home” so that “ageing in place” can be achieved.
In Dec 2021, the MIND-Friendly Home Exploration Centre was recognized as the “Innovation of the Year – Dementia Care Model Solution” at the 9th Asia Pacific Eldercare Innovation Awards organised by Ageing Asia in Singapore, known as the “Oscars” in the eldercare sector.
Service Target: elderly or retired people, family members and care-givers, students, professionals from other corporations or institutions
Services: health screening, guided tours and experiential activities, education and training, professional consultation, ambassador services, research, online resources
