Happiness
Many elderly people, especially those living alone, suffer from
depression and social seclusion. Through the social caring activities
and mental health programmes we organise in collaboration with
social services agencies, we are able to help seniors lead happier
and more integrated lives in the community. According to The
University of Hong Kong study, our elderly tenants reported that
depressive moods have been reduced by 9% as compared with an
increase of 48% among the seniors of the control estate as a result
of our service.
Abled Brain
An abled brain is critical for independent living in estate among
the elderly. To enhance the cognitive performance of our elderly
residents, we work with NGOs to conduct mental health assessments,
talks, training and exercise programmes, all of which have produced
noticeable improvements.
Since piloting our AIP scheme in 2012, we have been progressively
extending it across our entire portfolio of rental estates. In 2015/16,
we added three more rental estates for a total of 14 covered under
our AIP scheme, and we intend to roll it out to all 20 of our estates
by 2016/17.
「頤樂」
很多長者都受到情緒低落及社會疏離的
困擾，尢其以獨居長者的情況更甚。房協
透過與社會服務機構合辦關懷行動及精神健
康計劃，協助長者活出更快樂的人生及更易
融入社會。根據香港大學進行的研究顯示，
我們提供的服務令長者住戶出現情緒低落的
情況減少百分之九，而對照屋邨的長者則
增加百分之四十八。
「頤智」
腦活神通對於屋邨長者的自理起居非常
重要。為提升長者住戶的認知能力，我們與
非政府組織合作進行精神健康評估、講座、
訓練及運動計劃，成效顯著。
房協自二零一二年試行「樂得耆所」計劃以
來，逐步將服務範圍擴展至轄下所有出租屋
邨。於二零一五╱一六年度，「樂得耆所」
居家安老計劃再增加三個屋邨，總數達
14
個
屋邨，並計劃於二零一六╱一七年度推展至
全部二十個屋邨。
