LADY WILSON URGES SUPPORT FOR PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION SERVICES

LADY WILSON TODAY (SATURDAY) APPEALED FOR SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION SERVICES IN HONG KONG.

SPEAKING AT THE OPENING OF THE LONG STAY CARE HOME RUN BY THE NEW LIFE PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION ASSOCIATION IN TUEN MUN, LADY WILSON SAID THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT PUT INTO PRACTICE THE CONCEPT OF COMMUNITY PSYCHIATRIC REHABILITATION, AND THE BELIEF THAT CHRONIC MENTAL PATIENTS COULD LEAVE THE ENVIRONMENT OF A MENTAL HOSPITAL AND LIVE WITH REHABILITATIVE CARE IN THE COMMUNITY.

"THIS IS AN ENORMOUS BREAKTHROUGH IN THE TREATMENT AND CARE OF MENTAL PATIENTS.

J

"IT ALSO POSES A NEW CHALLENGE TO REHABILITATION WORKERS то DEMONSTRATE THAT COMMUNITY CARE IS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO INSTITUTIONAL CARE," SHE SAID.

LADY WILSON NOTED THAT THIS INNOVATIVE COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL HOME WAS A PURPOSE-BUILT FACILITY WITH A HOMELY ENVIRONMENT AND THE IDEA WAS TO HAVE SMALL GROUP LIVING, WITH 20 RESIDENTS TO A HOME UNIT.

THE HOME PROVIDES ACCOMMODATION, CARE AND REHABILITATION FOR A TOTAL OF 200 RESIDENTS.
