Housing Society Clinches Quality Building Award 2024 and Other Accolades in Planning and Construction

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has recently been honoured with three local and international awards in project planning and construction, in recognition of its outstanding performance in providing quality and innovative housing, as well as its achievements in promoting green buildings and sustainable development. Among them, Blissful Place of the “Senior Citizen Residences Scheme” won the Grand Award in the Hong Kong Residential (Single Building) category at the Quality Building Award 2024.

The goal of achieving “ageing in place” has been exemplified in Blissful Place from its planning, design, construction through to resident services. The adoption of gerontechnology, the elderly-friendly flats, residential care home for the elderly, medical care services, and recreational facilities at the project all reflect HKHS’s people-oriented core values.

Jointly organised by nine leading local professional organisations, the Quality Building Award is a biennial major industry event that recognises project teams with outstanding teamwork in the design and construction of quality buildings. The theme of the award this year is “Empowering Innovation | Sustaining Green | Generating Wellness”, which recognises projects that demonstrate innovative and eco-friendly solutions for the benefit of society while committing to work holistically to serve every community to the best of its ability.

另外,房協的「松悦樓」榮獲香港設計大獎 2024「建築-住宅-已建」組別的金獎。該獎由全球知名設計品牌及工作室組成的 BETTER FUTURE主辦,表揚有助建設更美好及可持續發展的創新設計。「松悦樓」是房協首個採用「組裝合成」建築法(MiC)興建的項目,亦是全港首個以鋼製MiC興建的長者房屋,供房協出租屋邨的全長者寬敞戶申請調遷,以騰出原有單位重新編配予其他有需要的家庭,是實踐可持續發展及善用房屋資源的良好示範。

HKHS has also recently been honoured with the Merit Award in the “Planning” category at the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors Awards 2024 for Ming Wah Dai Ha (MWDH) Redevelopment project. The project is carried out in three phases by adopting the “single site, multiple uses” and “mixed development model” approaches. There is in-situ preservation of existing building elements in the course of redevelopment to enhance the residents’ sense of belonging. The project is also complemented by comprehensive living facilities suitable for people of all ages to foster an inclusive and harmonious community.

Completed in 2021, Phase I of the MWDH Redevelopment project provides 966 rental units, with one-third featuring adaptable designs. Natural lighting, ventilation, aesthetics and multiple factors were taken into full account during the design process of the two blocks. The purple and yellow palettes of the buildings create a unique “garden” community, which also assist senior residents in wayfinding.

對「認知障礙症」患者有益的食物及飲食對策
最新

良好飲食對於維持健康很重要,特別是對於患有認知障礙症的人士。患者味覺的退化、進食能力、咀嚼和吞嚥能力的轉變,可導致攝取能量不足、體重下降等,使患者處於營養不良的風險中。

「認知障礙症」患者營養攝取不足的常見原因及營養需要
食慾下降藥物副作用或疲倦導致食慾改變
感官功能變差患者味覺及嗅覺逐漸減弱或失去
身體協調功能退化患者使用餐具將食物轉移到口中出現困難、咀嚼及吞嚥等能力出現不協調


雖然暫時沒有明確根治認知障礙症或腦退化症的方法,但培養健康的飲食習慣、恆常運動、避免吸煙等,都有助減低及延緩退化。每天的食物種類應包括 1)五穀根莖類、2)水果類、3)蔬菜/瓜/菇菌類、4)肉/魚/豆/蛋類 及 5)奶品/加鈣植物奶類等食物。每星期兩至三餐吃含豐富奧米加3脂肪酸的魚類,有助維持腦細胞健康;而適量的蔬菜和水果含豐富抗氧化營養素,有助防止腦細胞老化及受損。

促進「認知障礙症」患者進食的方法

1. 食慾下降

少吃多餐,當患者正餐分量吃得不足夠的時候,鼓勵兩餐之間進食高熱量小食,以補充正餐份量及營養的不足,把握患者進食的機會,多休息,減少疲勞。

高熱量小食

穀物/根莖類奶類甜品類蛋類/肉類:
三文治(雞蛋/芝士/吞拿魚/花生醬)、蕃薯、粟米、栗子、薯蓉鮮奶、乳酪、芝士、營養奶#燉蛋、燉奶、腐竹蛋糖水、芝麻糊、花生糊、合桃糊、杏仁茶茶葉蛋、去皮雞髀
#食用前建議諮詢註冊營養師或醫生意見


2. 增加味覺的刺激

當患者感到食物乏味時,可嘗試加添額外的天然調味料例如薑、葱、蒜頭、大蒜、洋蔥、胡椒粉、花椒、八角、麻油和檸檬汁來調味,可用香草例如羅勒、百里香、迷迭香等來吸引進食,亦可於食物中添加少許鹽或醬油調味。

3. 身體協調功能的改變

當患者協調功能或使用餐具變得困難時,可嘗試準備一些可以用手拿起的食物,例如蘋果片、細件三文治、條狀的豬排、雞肉條、小飯團、蕃薯等,不但可以鼓勵患者自主進食,還可以讓他們保持尊嚴。

4. 咀嚼及吞嚥問題

可以提供質地柔軟及濕潤的肉類,例如炒蛋、豆腐、肉茸、魚肉;軟身的瓜菜類例如冬瓜、節瓜、翠肉瓜、番茄或已切成細段並煮至軟身的蔬菜;較易咀嚼的穀物類例如麥片、粥、浸軟的麵包或餅乾、煮至軟身的粉麵飯等。此外,適切提供切碎的食物,減少咀嚼時間。另外可添加額外的醬汁或肉汁,令患者更容易吞嚥。如果患者出現咀嚼/吞嚥困難的跡象和症狀,建議諮詢言語治療師對患者進食的食物質地和液體濃度提出適當的評估及建議,因為合適的食物質地也可提升患者的進食意欲。

1.1-房協項目奪得優質物業管理大獎

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has recently been crowned multiple awards at the “Quality Property and Facility Management Award 2024” for its outstanding performance in property and facility management. Cho Yiu Chuen, a rental estate, and The Tanner Hill, a non-subsidised quality elderly housing project, received the Grand Award in the categories of “Public Rental Housing” and “Community Housing” respectively. The Tanner Hill also won the inaugural “Theme Award” by achieving the highest score in “Establishing a Wellness Harmony Community”.

The Tanner Hill, winning project of the “Theme Award”, was completed in 2015. It is Hong Kong’s first non-subsidised quality housing project for senior citizens of better affordability. The project provides age-friendly residential units, and also services and facilities to take care of the residents’ physical and mental health, including advanced home care support systems for safety and health monitoring, housekeeping and handyman services, an indoor heated swimming pool, social worker support, as well as healthcare and skilled care services. HKHS also collaborates with different organisations to provide an array of engaging activities for The Tanner Hill’s residents to enjoy active ageing.

Completed in the 1970s, Cho Yiu Chuen is Hong Kong’s first public housing estate built with a swimming pool and comprises an independent living housing block, “Chung Ning Sheh”, designed for the older persons. Cho Yiu Chuen stunned the industry in the early years by winning an architecture award for its aesthetically-pleasing environmental design. In 2022, HKHS piloted a two-year programme “Mind-friendly Estate Model at Cho Yiu Chuen”. By orchestrating diverse community resources, the project helps the residents to reduce stress and enhance their well-being through art. In addition, HKHS’s multi-disciplinary CES (Caring, Engaging and Smart) Team offers support to needy residents, engaging them in estate-based group activities and strengthening the neighbourhood bonding.
