| Annotation | Hong Kong government policy encourages and facilitates families to care for their older members as long as possible by providing families and their older relatives with community support services. Residential care for older people is viewed as a last resort. However the use of residential care is increasing, and there is growing concern about the standard of care that is provided, despite a number of controls to monitor such care. This article makes recommendations to address these concerns, paying attention to both the quality of care and the physical environment of residential homes. (KJ/RH). |
