Last update date: 2020-05-10 00:01The elders in Shiziling Garden affected by the first phase of the demolition plan are still ignorant, thinking that they can move to the new building and be retired. The elders are attached to Shiziling. In addition to reluctance to leave the familiar environment, there are also reluctant to leave chefs who will remember their dietary preferences, and even more unwilling to leave caregivers who will endure the temper of the fellows. In the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, the elderly residents were moved out. The staff of the institution were worried about unemployment and increased health risks. They even broke the record of zero infection among the elderly.

In order to advance the plan for the new development zone in Gukdong North, the government will demolish 15 private residential care homes in Shiziling Garden in two phases. The 150 elders affected by the first phase of the demolishment plan will have to move out before June 30. Among them, 80-year-old mother-in-law raised her hands and said, "Don't know, don't know where to go." She thought she would move to the new building of the elderly home near the hospital to continue living, but no clear arrangements have been made so far.
Deng Tianyang, who has served as a chef at Shizai Ling An Nursing Home for 8 years, sat with her mother-in-law. Deng Rushu and Jiazhen said, "Sometimes it is necessary to buy daily necessities, oranges, and raw fruits. I will help Yuen Long before I go back to work. "I'll buy it", "There are some foods that are fried, and some are very demanding. You can't eat them like a whole second food." Mother-in-law nodded violently while listening, as if listening to an old friend talking. Deng Tianyang believes that Shiziling has a first-class environment and is suitable for the elderly. He spends more time here than at home, and the home is like a big family.

Under the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, Deng Tianyang admitted to worrying about having no work to open: "I'm in my tens of years, and I live with my boss and my wife. I'm in harmony with my parents-in-law and my parents-in-law. ), You're talking to your old man.
There are no confirmed cases of elders in more than 600 residential care homes in Hong Kong. In the past period, Shizailing Residential Care Homes strictly followed the guidelines of the Department of Health and squeezed out space to set up isolation rooms for the elderly returning from the hospital. "The elderly people who have been in and out of the hospital in the past two months are (needed) isolation persons, either one or both. They must be isolated, and there is no big space in the institution." Operator Zhang Shiping is worried that if the "pin-type" of the elderly is arranged in other residential care homes in Shiziling, it will increase the bed density and increase the risk of contracting the epidemic. ". He opposed the government's request for the relocation of the institution during this period. He had written to the department to hope that they would postpone the relocation date, but he did not receive a reply.
In response to the enquiry on "Hong Kong 01", the SWD stated that the residential care homes in Shiziling Garden must still comply with the provisions of the Home Care Homes Ordinance, its subsidiary regulations and the Code of Practice for Homes for the Elderly. , Including compliance with the legal minimum floor area per capita and maintaining clean and hygienic homes. Relevant government departments will pay close attention to the development of the coronavirus disease epidemic in 2019, and communicate closely with the operators of the elderly homes to prepare for the first phase of demolition at the end of June 2020, including the necessary protective measures to protect the affected Of the elders.
As for the employment situation of RCHE staff, the SWD stated that there is no information on the employment arrangements of RCHE staff affected by the first phase of demolition. RCHE operators should make appropriate arrangements in accordance with relevant labour regulations and employment contracts.
