The Elderly Resources Centre

Sze, P. C. / Au-Yeung, K. Y.

Abstract Like other parts of the world, population ageing is one of the major concerns in Hong Kong. Housing solutions for the increasing needs of older people is a big challenge of our society. As there has not been adequate housing for older citizens on the local market, the Hong Kong Housing Society set up the Elderly Resources Centre (ERC) to promote Ageing in Place (AIP) in Hong Kong. Suitable living environment, healthy ageing and safety living are the three basic elements that we focus on to help the older people age in place. This chapter presents the approaches, which include education, advocacy and direct services through the usage of interactive technology, experiential learning and demonstrations in a fun and stimulating environment, to help older people achieve AIP in Hong Kong.
