Dear MEL institute, I just joined a social work institution in Hong Kong. We need to assess the needs of the targeted older adults, and further develop our service or program. Do you think if we could use the Minimum Data Set-Home Care (MDS-HC) to facilitate the needs assessment?

Hi Dr. MEL, I know that the GD Scheme recipients should reside in GD for 60 days per year. I hope to know how can the SWD’s agent verify the implementation of this rule?

As an extended program for Hong Kong older adults who go to mainland China, the GD scheme is well planned and conducted. Still, I wonder if there are barriers to such extension? For example, why can’t the payments of GD Scheme allowance be credited directly to the elderly applicants’ bank accounts in Mainland China?

One thing I know about the GD scheme is that the constraints and limits for recipients are strict. May I ask how a recipient can prove his/her GD residential address if his/her name is not shown on water, electricity, and gas bills?
