As Hong Kong's population rapidly ages, the society is entering an era of extreme aging, leading to increased demand for basic support for the elderly and their carers. According to the Social Welfare Department, as of 30th November, 2023, there were over 14,000 people waiting for Care and Attention Places and over 2,000 waiting for Nursing Places, with the longest wait exceeding a year and a half. The government initiated the Greater Bay Area elderly care plan as early as 2014, such as the Residential Care Services Scheme in Guangdong, which has been in operation for over a decade. How effective has it been? What considerations and concerns do grassroots elderly have when contemplating retiring in the Greater Bay Area? What benefits can seniors enjoy under the Residential Care Services Scheme in Guangdong?
