"Shamshuipo Day Care Centre for the Elderly" (SSPDE), formerly known as "Lotus Day Care Centre for the Elderly", was established in 2002 to provide services in So Uk Estate. Upon the redevelopment of So Uk Estate in 2012, the centre was moved to the current service premises in Un Chau Estate.
By adopting the principles of "continuum care" and "community care", and with "client-centre" as the service goal, we aim at enabling frail seniors to maintain an optimal level of functioning by day care services to meet the nursing, rehabilitation and social needs, thereby improving their quality of life. We also provide support to caregivers of the seniors to enhance their confidence, ability in performing care duties and relieving their stress.
