HONG KONG HOUSING SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORT 2020/21
Senior Citizen Residences Scheme
As part of our ongoing commitment to serve Hong Kong’s elderly people, the Senior Citizen Residences Scheme (SEN) provides subsidised flats that cater middle-income seniors. The two pilot projects, Jolly Place in Tseung Kwan O and Cheerful Court in Jordan Valley, offer a life-lease model to tenants. The projects have continued to enjoy full occupancy, and the waiting list for residency is currently over 500 applicants with a waiting period of about four years on average.
Jolly Place and Cheerful Court provide the elderly with accommodation that has been integrated with a full range of care and support services. The “all-in-one” model offers tenants comprehensive lifestyle facilities and services, social and recreational activities, home care support, healthcare, wellness and skilled care services all on-site. This has helped our multi- disciplinary professional service team to better address the physical and psychosocial needs of the elderly since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020.
Containment measures such as social distancing and quarantine were implemented to mitigate the spread of the disease. These measures could protect the elderly citizens against infection, but might inadvertently induce unwanted consequences, including social isolation, limited access to routine social care services and poor self-health management.
