The six men and 30 women, aged 40 to 98, came down with diarrhoea and vomiting between February 5 and 11. Three were admitted to Tuen Mun Hospital. All are in stable condition.
Two stool samples have tested positive for norovirus, a common cause of viral gastroenteritis.
The centre will closely monitor the home.
