The users are encouraged to take an active role in determining how the service is provided. Therefore, placing more control into the hands of the users in improving their own quality of life.

Our continual effort to provide a comprehensive and high quality range of domiciliary services has been met with a desirable result. In comparison to the past three years, there has been a significant increase in the number of service users. In addition, the home care service is backed with an improved administrative system that constantly evaluates and caters for the changing needs of our service users.

In an effort to increase the number of beneficiaries to the service we have actively:

Perform outreach visitation
Listen to and take account of people's needs with our befriending scheme
Provide advocacy work
Produce many informative and bilingual publications
Promote through word of mouth

The Association recognises the importance of volunteer and the role they play in the development of the care services. As a direct result from their involvement, the care service promotion is able to extend beyond the normal boundaries enabling the service to reach the right people at the right place at the right time thus reducing the number of vulnerable older people that are left at risk in their own homes. To show our appreciation, Certificates of Recognition were presented to volunteers to honour their involvement and contribution.
