[Shun Yu's Hong Kong Column] Discharge Support Program for the Elderly to be expanded from the third quarter of next year

繼上次提及社區照顧劵後,今次延續施政報告針對居家安老的措施,加強離院支援計劃亦是其中之一針對重點。醫院管理局的離院長者綜合支援計劃會擴大,明年第三季起每年受惠人數增加三分之一至45,000人,其中可獲轉介至家居照顧服務的人數由約9,000人增至11,000人,以支援更多出院長者居家康復。 離院支援計劃簡言之是為一些即使出院,在自理上仍出現困難的長者,提供短期的照顧支援。

須符合以下所有申請資格︰

 

I.       60歲或以上;以及

II.      因病況暫時失去自理能力,經醫院管理局(醫管局)的醫護人員評估為有過渡期護理及支援需要(即出院後需要臨時院舍住宿照顧及/或社區照顧及支援服務)

 

服務內容及收費:

需留意地方︰

服務計劃提供時間有限期,一般不超過四個月。
