Holding fast to the mission of “Providing the Aged with Care and
a Sense of Security”, TWGHs is committed to improving its elderly
care and end-of-life care services so as to provide appropriate care
for the elderly in their twilight years. With our rich experience
and multi-disciplinary team, TWGHs launched a 4-year “Farewell
Homecare” Hospice Care Service Pilot Scheme in New Territories
East during the year, providing terminal patients and their families
with all-round support in physical, psychological, social and mental
aspects. Thanks to such initiatives as home palliative care, advance
care planning and support for the bereaved, patients may spend
their final moments with their families in a familiar environment,
while the bereaved may make proper arrangements upon the
departure of their loved ones.
Jockey Club Intergenerational Art Centre was officially opened
during the year. Adopting an intergenerational and artistic
approach, it encourages young people, caregivers and demented
elders to join hands in artistic creation in a joyful manner, so as
to promote interaction and understanding among different
generations and to build a harmonious community.
Families are the cornerstone of a society, and happy families
contribute to a caring society. In order to strengthen family ties,
TWGHs has set up a TWGHs Jockey Club LOVE Family Centre in
Shatin District with a period of 2 years, so as to provide one-stop
family education and support services, and in turn, develop a culture
of mutual assistance and care in the community. In addition, TWGHs
launched the 5-year “Parents Academy” project last year. With the
belief of “learning knows no bounds and love knows no end”, we
have established partnership with 76 kindergartens, nurseries and
primary schools across the territory, and provided developmental
and preventative parenting education. With a brand-new model of
a cross-community, cross-sectoral and cross-media nature, we are
committed to helping parents to build good relationships with their
children and to promoting family harmony.
Fostering Social Inclusion by Helping the Poor and the
Disadvantaged to Gain Self-reliance
“Huainanzi”, a famous collection of essays in ancient China, says,
“We would better fetch a flint than beg for light; we would better
dig a well ourselves than beg for water from others.” Helping the
disabled enhance their self-reliance is the best way for them to
integrate into society. During the year, TWGHs became the successful
bidder for the operation of the integrated vocational rehabilitation
services centre cum hostel for the moderately mentally handicapped
at Hung Fuk Estate in Hung Shui Kiu. The Facility provides 170 places
for vocational rehabilitation services, 50 residential places and 3
respite service places, thus meeting the basic needs of people with
disabilities in terms of vocational training and accommodation.
Apart from addressing rehabilitation and accommodation needs,
we also spent over $2 million to build the new “Kwan Fong Baking
Workshop” at TWGHs Kwan Fong Kai Chi School. Officially in
operation on 29 January 2018, the Workshop is dedicated
to providing vocational training for students with
special needs, so that they can have more options in
life and open up their own new world.
