Elderly Services
In 1984, Professor Alice Chiu was the 17th Director of the Yan Chai Hospital, Board of Directors. She established an elderly care centre, in the name of “Yan Chai Hospital Mrs. Kwok Yuk Cheung Care & Attention Home”, providing special and patient-tailored services to elderly residents.
In 1987, Professor Chiu was appointed as the Chairman of Yan Chai Hospital, Board of Directors and successfully applied the use of land from Hong Kong government to construct the largest elderly care centre in the 1980s, namely “Yan Chai Hospital Chinachem Care & Attention Home”. It is still widely recognised as the most accredited and greatest elderly care centre up until now in Hong Kong.
In the same year, Professor Chiu funded to construct “Yan Chai Hospital Mrs. Tsang Wing Neighbourhood Elderly Centre”, providing health care services to the elderly living in Tuen Mun. It was the first-ever day care centre for elderly in Hong Kong since 1980s. Sheen Hok Charitable Foundation further invested more therapy machine for elderly physiotherapy and rehabilitation to serve nearly 1,500 elderly residents up until now.
In 2002, “Evangelical Lutheran Church Social Service Hong Kong Sheen Hok Charitable Foundation Kwan Shon Hing Yu Chui Neighborhood Elderly Center”, located in Yu Chui Court, Sha Tin, was established to commemorate Professor Chiu’s mother-in-law. Professor Chiu initiated the project and single-handedly organised the construction from application to Hong Kong government to donors’ invitations. The center provides comprehensive and all-round health care services to elderly and the community, offering wide range of services to meet their physical, mental, social and personal needs. Through our considerate support, we hope they could live with health, respect and dignity, as well as build a strong community in Sha Tin as active participants.
