Prof. Eric Chui, Head of Department of Applied Social Sciences of PolyU and Co-Director of PReCIT, shared his views on social service initiatives during an interview on RTHK’s programme “Hong Kong United:”
Community Living Rooms: Districts with higher concentrations of subdivided units and lower median incomes, such as Kwun Tong, North District, Tsuen Wan, are suitable locations to establish community living rooms.
Ageing in place: Beyond setting up more neighbourhood elderly centres, strengthen outreach; collaborate with Care Teams for regular visits to elderly living alone; and better integrate neighbourhood centres with District Health Centres’ services.
Support for caregivers: Promote smart home incident detection, such as fall alerts, so that caregivers can receive timely notifications even without 24/7 monitoring.
