As we face the challenge of an ageing population, we continue to ᛠɛɹϼʷה੭ԸٙܿdҢࡁʔᓙઞ
pursue the most effective ways to support the elderly, both living in our Ӌ௰Ϟࣖٙ˙ࣩd˸˕౪֢Иίג܊㡼
estates and the community. This includes not only developing ʿਜٙڗ٫fגʔසዄ࠰ಥג܊ྼ

Ageing-In-Place Scheme 「樂得耆所」居家安老計劃
The Government has identified a need for ageing-in-place initiatives for ࠰ಥִ݁ɚཧɓɖϋ݄݁జѓʕܸ̈d
its elderly citizens, observing in its 2017 Policy Address that the public ֢τϼމ͉d৫ٸᚥމܝ౪ٙ݁ഄ
and stakeholders broadly support the policy of “ageing in place as the ˙০Ցʮʿܵ΅٫ٙᄿع˕ܵdᜑͪ
core, institutional care as back-up”. ִ݁ᐝމڗ٫પБ֢τϼ݁ഄٙცࠅf
As such, enabling tenants to age in place is a guiding principle for our пڗ٫ॡ˒ྼስ֢τϼ݊ג၍ଣ
rental housing. The Ageing-in-Place (AIP) Scheme is designed to help ̈ॡ܊㡼ٙɓධʈЪࡡۆfᆀॾה֢
elderly residents maintain their independence while ensuring that they τϼࠇྌϙίпڗ٫֢͏ڭܵዹͭІ
