詩田頤養院,前身名為詩田耆年宿舍,是禮賢會福利部創辦的首間老人院舍,服務已有30年。院舍初期僅為院友提供住宿服務,院友可自行買餸及煮食。隨著院友年老體弱,院舍於1987年開始有供膳宿位,為院友提供膳食及護理服務。自此宿舍轉為安老院舍。後因社署倡議「持續照顧」的安老政策,讓體弱院友無須轉院,在原居院舍繼續接受長期護理服務,經社署評核後,「詩田」於2006年3月正式轉型,並於2007年6月改名為詩田頤養院。院舍除有政府津助的長期護理位,亦增設自負盈虧宿位。現在自負盈虧位的院友可以享用一切本院的服務,而房間更加設有大電視、冷暖氣設備、浴室廁所及電動醫療床等,環境舒適,歡迎堂會會友及外界直接向本院申請入住
Sze Tian Rhenish Home for the Elderly, previously named Sze Tian Rhenish Hostel for the Elderly, was the first Home, that established by the Welfare Department of our Rhenish Church for 30 years. Our Home rendered originally the residential service only that our residents could be able to prepare meals by themselves at that time. With the advocate and support of Social Welfare Department on the policy of continuous care for the elderly, our Home subsequently changed into Aged Home to provide meal service for our residents for the fact that they were growing older and infirm. Further to this, with a view that our frail residents could stay still in the same Home to secure a long term care service, Sze Tian Hostel for the Elderly was thereupon approved to be converted into a care and attention home providing long-term care service from March 2006. Our name was afterward changed to Sze Tin Rhenish Home for the Elderly in June 2007. In addition to the SWD subvented long-term care placement, our Home provides also the self-financing placement for the elderly in need. The latter can enjoy presently extra quality room service with the provision of LCD TV, electrical medical beds, cold and warm air conditioning facilities and appliances in toilets and bath rooms, etc. We welcome any referral from our Church organization and the public for those elderly in need of residential service. |
