Community Support Service
Continuing Rehabilitation Service
Since 1997, the Association strived to design a rehabilitation system which is suitable for taking care of chronic ill patients. With the funding support from the S.K. Yee Medical Foundation, we developed the "Holistic Approach to Rehabilitation” which is compatible with the local culture and resources. This approach is not a treatment method, but rather is a rehabilitation system based on "person-centred”. Through the transdisciplinary team approach, a structured environment and integrated training based on daily living, the different aspects involving "physical, intellectual, and psycho-social” of the clients will all be focused on so as to arouse the client’s motivation to self help and social integration.
- Continuing Rehabilitation Centre
On 6th January 2006, the Association’s first self-financed Continuing Rehabilitation Centre started operation at a premises in Tai Hang Tung Estatein Shek Kip Mei. It aims to serve community dwelling, neurological impaired chronic patients such as stroke, Parkinsonim, dementia etc. by providing them with a tailor-made rehabilitation programme.
The principal of the Centre is to emphasize the importance of the home and the community in assisting the family members to understand the conditions of the clients and to learn the related training and management skills. The client will learn to self-help, as far as possible, reduce reliance and maintain their conditions. The Centre also organized various seminars, talks and workshops to promote the "Holistic Approach to Rehabilitation” to other organizations, and provide a transition to other community support programmes. The approach is also applied in day centres for the elderly, care and attention home and also rehabilitation hospitals.
