Having CARE OF THE ELDERLY
Residents of Peng Chau, another remote area that is 40 minutes by ferry from the city, also experience a lack of medical care.
Of its almost 6, 000 people, about 1, 000 are older.
Instead of a doctor, residents have four health clinics, including one outpatient center which offers 24-hour second assistance services.
Mr. Jordan Yeng, who co-founded the daycare center Silvermorph Charity, claimed he did it because there was a company distance.
” The aircraft can aid in very serious emergency situations. But in my view, there should be more tools related to providing those long-term treatment, such as childcare areas, such as old houses, or broadening those home base companies, because those are kind of the day-to-day needs”, he said.
His center is also impacted by the same medical labor shortage that plagues the area.
Despite providing a wide range of services including cleaning and meal support, nursing treatment and rehabilitation, the middle only has three full-time team. Mr. Yeng makes up for the lack of workers by employing islands or their families on a freelance base.
Residents of Peng Chau, a program that recruits individuals to assist seniors with everyday tasks, can also benefit from Silvermorph Charity.  ,
” We organise different kinds of activities, including seat dance, stretching, handwriting and drink appreciation”, said project director Derek Tam.  ,
” These activities are great for their physical and mental health- not just exercising, but also building a social circle for them” . ,
Volunteers visit homes, where they occasionally assist with mild restoration work, despite the fact that the majority of the activities are held at a community center. The program also offers home changes for the old, similar to Silvermorph Charity.  ,
” We help to restore or improve the technology at the elderly’s house, like fixing damaged light flowers, to fluids leaking from the windows. Our participants also assist in installing railings for those in need in bathrooms, according to Mr. Tam.
Although these may seem like small alterations, the elderly’s lives are significantly improved by them.
