Receiving Recognitions in Elderly Care Services

Ms CHAU Wai-ping Phyllis (Director of Long Term Care, International & China Programmes)

The Society has always striven to provide high quality rehabilitation and long-term care services, which are widely recognised by the community as we have received awards constantly.

Recently, Ms CHAU Wai-ping Phyllis (Director of Long Term Care, International & China Programmes) and her team’s “Geriatric Rejuvenation Project – A Personalised, Holistic and Integrative Rehabilitative Care for the Young Old to Avoid Pre-Mature Admission to the Elderly Home” received the recognition of “Best Practices Winning Project” by Jockey Club MEL Institute Project. The award-winning project will be launched in early 2022 and operated by the Society. The project will provide young old patients (particularly those suffering from stroke) with intensive rehabilitation services to avoid early admission to elderly homes due to frailty caused by chronic illnesses or injuries.

Our colleagues – Ms MO Sijie, Jackie (Superintendent of Yee Hong Heights) and Ms AU Soi-sang, Chris (Deputy Manager of Lee Quo Wei Day Rehabilitation & Care Centre/ Registered Occupational Therapist) – were presented the 5^th Elderly Care Services Employee Awards (Professional Group) for their long-term dedications in elderly services.

“As the borders were closed during the pandemic, many Hong Kong-born residents could not meet up with their family and friends from Hong Kong. In light of this situation, Yee Hong Heights invited their family and friends from Hong Kong to make some videos, so that the residents can feel the love and care from their families across the border.” Ms MO (Superintendent of Yee Hong Heights) mentioned that this experience left her a strong impression.

“It is widely known that hospitals are experiencing a shortage of beds and could only offer limited rehabilitation services. As I would like to be a part of the patients’ rehabilitation journey, I left hospital to work for the Society. I once met a patient with mobility difficulties who was dejected because of his physical conditions. When he first came to the Society, he could only move with a patient hoist. A few months after rehab, he regained the ability to walk with a quad cane and returned to the community,” Ms Au recounted her experience at the Society, “Our team felt uplifted because we were able to help him achieve his goals. Without rehabilitation, he may still be staying in a residential home.”

The award presentation scheme was co-organised by the Elderly Services Association of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Employment Development Service Limited. Apart from honouring the outstanding performance of the workers, the event also aimed to improve the public image and recognition of the elderly care sector.
