Care for Elderly Carer

The aging population in Hong Kong has led to an increasing number of carers. When caring for the care recipients, carers not only have to address their needs but also face challenges related to their own mental well-being, lack of caregiving skills, and financial support, etc. In the 2022 Policy Address, the government reinforced the implementation of carer support policies. However, despite policy implementation, there have been a series of family tragedies in society, highlighting the issues of 'elderly caring for the elderly' and 'elderly caring for the disabled', and the heavy burden borne by elderly carers as well. How can we alleviate their pressure and create breathing space for them?
