CHUNG HOK SOCIAL CENTRE FOR THE ELDERLY
Kwan Kai Ming Memorial Chung Hok Elderly Centre & Chung Hok Social Centre for the Elderly are situated at Shaukeiwan & the Western District in the Hong Kong Island respectively, which are the old developed areas with a large population of old people living in the neighborhood.
The 2 elderly centres have about 2,000 members, a great majority between the age of 70 to 90, and 20% of them are living singly. They provide service to the elders to live a positive old age life in the community with which they are familiar. The 2 centres are 80% subsidized by the government for their running expenses and they have to raise their own funds to finance the balance.
The 2 centres need improvement in the facilities for the elders, including a massage chair for the elders who have long term pain problems and related diseases; a projector for educational talks and movies; Wii consoles for the elders’ exercise and fun; and computers to be used by the elders and the teaching staff.
The equipments will be installed in the 2 centres according to their needs and the availability of space. The centres are situated in the densely populated areas where the demand for service is great. The tight centre space and limited facilities require the staff to manage the use of the equipments carefully. The staff will organize scheduled use of the massage chair and the Wii consoles, organize educational and health talks and movie programs for the elders regularly, and organize computer classes and schedule the use of the computers. The staff will arrange continuous maintenance program for the equipments.
Rotarians, their spouses and children of the club will visit the centres, organize gatherings with the elders, show their care and love for them. The members of the club will supervise the acquisition, exercise control of the funding and the installation. The Rotarians from the International Partner will monitor the funding, come to Hong Kong to visit the centres and show their care about the elders.
