*About the Organisation

The Elderly Resources Centre was established by the Hong Kong Housing Society in 2005 to promote “age-friendly housing” to the community through education, health screening, professional consultation and research. In 2017, the centre set up the MIND-friendly Home Exploration Centre, which is the first of its kind in Hong Kong, to demonstrate to the public how a friendly housing design may facilitate the daily living of people with dementia.
