China Coast Community
A Brief Report
China Coast Community or the “CCC” was set up in 1979 and is situated in Kowloon Tong. It is home to 39 English speaking residents whose ages range from 64-100. We are very proud to say that for the first time we have a resident who turned 100 years old on 4th October!!!
The criteria for entry is that men and women should be aged 60 or above and should be in good health and independent.
With advancing age, many of the residents have become frailer and their needs have subsequently increased so the home became fully licensed in April 2,000 as a care and attention home with 24-hour nursing care being provided.
Running such an establishment is costly and management faces the daunting task of raising donations to cover the shortfall in income over recurrent expenses of HK$3 million annually through sponsorships, donations and fund-raising activities.
China Coast Community has over 80 elderly community members who live in their own homes and who join the two monthly outings as well as activities at the home thus giving them an opportunity to make new friends and ease the loneliness which they may experience.
We are very appreciative of the generosity and assistance shown to us by the management and staff of savills and thank them
