St. James’ Settlement pioneered the first community care and support service for dementia elderly in 1989. It is estimated that the prevalence of dementia in Hong Kong is 10% for those aged 70 or older and serious social problems arise due to the inadequate support for them.
Through running two Kin Chi Dementia Care Support Service Centre on self-financed basis, SJS provides day care, home-based training, community education and career support service for dementia elderly and careers.
