The Hong Kong Housing Society Senior Citizen Residences Scheme are the first purpose-built, lease-for-life housing estates for the elderly in Hong Kong. The Senior Citizen Residences aim at providing a residential community environment which is comfortable and which enhances the quality of life for residents. Breaking new ground, each unit in the Senior Citizen Residences is self-contained with special facilities which meet the changing recreational, social and health care needs of the elderly as they "age in place".
