業務重點
The total number of visitors to the ERC in 2015/16 was over 14,500
(including elderly, students and professionals), while the number of
service recipients during the period was over 62,000.
Volunteer-hours in 2015/16 amounted to more than 10,000, which
brought the ERC another gold award for volunteer-hours from the
Social Welfare Department.
Elderly Safe Living Scheme
A more recent programme introduced by the Housing Society is the
Elderly Safe Living Scheme (ESLS) which was piloted in conjunction
with The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors in 2013 to help elderly
private home-owners enjoy a safe living environment in five older
urban districts of Hong Kong.
Occupational therapists of the Housing Society conduct home visits
to assess and advise on the safety of the home environment. The
services offered under the scheme are free of charge, but the elderly
owners have to engage contractors on their own to carry out the
proposed works.

安全作出評估及提供建議。有關服務不設
收費，但長者業主需自行委聘承辦商進行相
