     The Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Dr Law Chi-kwong, visited Tai Po District and elderly residents in a Care and Attention Home for the Elderly today (June 5). The Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Caspar Tsui, also joined the visit.

     Accompanied by the District Officer (Tai Po), Ms Andy Lui, and the District Social Welfare Officer (Tai Po/North), Mr Yam Mun-ho, Dr Law went to TWGHs Pao Siu Loong Care & Attention Home in Shuen Wan. It provides residential and personal care, meals and nursing care for the elderly with weak health and deficiency in daily self-care.

     Dr Law visited elderly residents with dementia and toured its different small group units targeting residents with dementia and residents with frailty. He noted that different teams of care personnel serve in designated clusters and arrange appropriate care and activities based on the elderly's needs. Such an arrangement can enhance service quality and improve the care personnel's relationship with residents and residents' family members. He also discussed the small group unit model with residents and their families and listened to their views.

     He then proceeded to the Tai Po District Council and met with members to learn more about the latest developments and issues of concern in the district and to exchange views on district matters.
