Dementia Community Support Scheme



Dementia Community Support Scheme Background

The Health Bureau (formerly the Food and Health Bureau), joining forces with the Social Welfare Department and the Hospital Authority (HA), launched a two-year Dementia Community Support Scheme (the pilot scheme) in February 2017 to provide support services to elderly persons with mild or moderate dementia and their carers through a medical-social collaboration model at 20 district elderly community centres (DECCs) and 4 HA Clusters. DECCs will arrange activities and services for participants according to their individual care plans and individual needs with a view to enhancing/ improving their cognitive functions, knowledge of home safety, ability of self-care, physical functioning, social skills, and alleviate carers' burden etc. The pilot scheme has been regularised since February 2019 and expanded to all 41 DECCs and 7 HA clusters in the territory in 2019-20.
