宿舍於1982年開辦,本著基督精神,為未能居住家中而有住宿需要的長者,提供安全舒適的家居生活及全面的關顧。初期的服務包括:照顧起居生活、提供社交及康樂活動、輔導及靈性關懷。 宿舍於2006年11月獲社署批准轉型為具持續照顧的安老院舍,翌年11月獲社署核准改名「頤養院」,最終可容納57位體弱及23個自負盈虧宿位予有住院需要的長者入住。 頤養院除了初期的服務外,還增聘到診醫生、物理治療及職業治療師。神職人員定期在本院舉辦宗教聚會及小組活動,以滿足長者屬靈的需要!
The Wong Siu Ching Rhenish Hostel for the elderly was established in 1982. Found on the principles of Christ, it aimed to provide a safe and comfortable residential environment as well as comprehensive care for elders who were unable to live at home. Initially, services included the provision of basic care, social and recreational activities, along with counsellings and spiritual support for its residents. In November of 2006, the hostel received approval from the Social Welfare Department to change its service nature to "Continuum of Care". In the following year, it was given permission to be renamed from "hostel" to "home for the elderly". The home would eventually provide 57 places for the physically-impaired and 23 self-financed places for those elders in need of accommodation. In addition to the existing services, the home would hire more visiting doctor, physiotherapist and occupational therapist. Moreover, religious gathering and functions would be held by members of the clergy on a regular basis to fulfill the spiritual needs of the elders. |
