Community Care Service Voucher Scheme for the Elderly
Service Introduction
The Social Welfare Department launched the Pilot Scheme on Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly in September 2013. Adopting a new funding mode, namely the “money-following-the-user” approach, eligible elderly persons may choose community care services that suit their individual needs with the use of Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly (Community Voucher).
Target Users
