The Social Welfare Department announced today that four additional residential care homes for the elderly will become Recognised Service Providers under the Residential Care Services Scheme in Guangdong from March 1 to provide subsidised care and attention places for seniors joining the scheme.

These care homes are located in Jiangmen, Foshan and Shenzhen.

Together with the existing 11 care homes, the number of care homes registered under the scheme will increase to 15 in six Mainland cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to provide more choice for seniors with an interest in retiring in Mainland cities in the GBA.
