服務香港65年的香港復康會（HKSR）於1959年由「復康之父」方心讓教授創辦，以提供創新復康服務、倡議全人健康和社會參與，以及建設共融環境為使命，致力為殘疾人士、長期病患者及長者提供全面及個人化的復康及健康管理服務，協助他們重拾健康、重投職場及社會，活出更有尊嚴及更豐盛的人生。

作為本港歷史最悠久以復康為主題的慈善團體，香港復康會於1962年籌建全港第一間復康院，成為香港第一所無障礙建築物。隨着社會對復康需求日增，服務範疇亦從最初集中提供復康治療服務，陸續拓展至其他生活層面，包括開展復康巴士服務、成立社區復康中心、安老院舍、職業復康及再培訓中心以至社會企業等，並透過推廣健康知識滿足社會共融及健康發展需要。

時至今日，香港復康會繼續提供復康治療、健康管理、無障礙交通及旅遊、職業培訓及長者院舍等一條龍服務，並將繼續開拓更多服務範疇，為建設共融環境作出貢獻。

多元化服務範疇
香港復康會在香港及內地設有29個服務點，為殘疾人士、長期病患者及長者、專業醫療人士、照顧者等提供多元化及創新的復康服務，每年服務人次超過130萬。香港復康會的全面服務範疇之中，除了照料殘疾人士、長期病患者及長者的需要外，同時亦延伸至預防性健康管理，促進整體社會健康意識。

無障礙運輸及旅遊

為照顧行動不便人士或長者的交通及出外需要，香港復康會自1978年起陸續成立「復康巴士」、「易達旅運」、「易達旅遊」以及「易達轎車」，開創本地無障礙運輸服務先河，覆蓋不同服務使用者的需求。旗下的「復康巴士」為香港最大無障礙運輸車隊，擁有204輛巴士，每年服務人次超過80萬。

罕見病患者蔡梓培及媽媽蔡太：無障礙交通救急於分秒之間
於九歲時確診患有罕見病「少年亞歷山大病」的蔡梓培，需長期以輪椅代步。除了到醫院覆診、上課等固定活動外，他亦會參加水療活動及硬地滾球班等課外活動，無奈適合輪椅人士的交通工具選擇有限：輪椅專用的士費用昂貴，車輛數量亦少，低地台小巴則供不應求，而由於某些醫院距離港鐵站頗遠，乘搭港鐵亦不是最佳選擇，在未使用「易達轎車」前，往往只可乘搭公共巴士，但試過因上落輪椅需時，被其他乘客指責耽誤時間。經醫護轉介後，梓培自2020年開始使用「易達童行資助計劃」，享用由「易達轎車」提供的「點到點」接載服務往返醫院就診或進行治療。蔡太分享一次難忘經歷：「梓培曾感染新冠肺炎，出院後出現肺積痰。有一天他的血氧濃度跌至70%左右，情況非常危急。我立即預約『易達轎車』前往醫院，但預先排定車輛需於中午12時才抵達。幸好，我與『易達轎車』的葉車長商量後，他二話不說提早45分鐘來到接送梓培入院，實在十分感謝。」對於建設共融社會，蔡太亦寄望「無障礙」概念不只是套用於設施及設計，公眾教育也同等重要。

社區復康服務
肢體殘疾人士、慢性病患者及身體機能退化的長者，需要面對生活適應、照顧安排等不同挑戰。香港復康會透過社區復康服務，協助他們提升生活質素及自信心，建立健康的生活模式及互助網絡。旗下設施包括提供健體和身心復康服務的適健中心、主要照顧中風、認知障礙症、腦損或其他慢性疾病患者需要的鄭德炎日間復康護理中心，並透過社區復康網絡（CRN）為慢性病患者及家屬提供身心靈的全人復康服務，推動病人自助互助，關顧患者心理社交需要。另一方面，「康程式」電子平台則提供無障礙復康、健康教育及資訊，讓大眾輕鬆接觸預防病患和長期病管理等知識。

中風患者照顧者美玲：音樂治療改善言語困難
美玲是一位現職照顧者，姐姐美蓉自2014年中風後就由她和家人照顧。由於美蓉因病影響言語表達能力，令兩姊妹曾飽受因無法溝通而帶來的負面情緒和照顧壓力。香港復康會創辦的「樂隨風合唱團」為她們開啟了以音樂作治療的互相扶持之路，美玲分享道：「姐姐中風初期的說話能力是零，要猜想她的想法花費不少心力，漸漸變成一種心理負擔。後來發現了香港復康會社區復康網絡康山中心的『樂隨風合唱團』，得知可利用音樂治療改善中風患者的言語困難情況，我便與姐姐一同報名參與，在日常照顧時可以和姐姐進行練習。」她表示，治療師會以日常對話配上專屬旋律，患者比較容易記起內容，想表達時就可以「唱出來」。合唱團的訓練不但改善兩姊妹的溝通能力，更有助紓緩情緒。美玲表示：「姐姐最開心的是自己能夠表達所想，而我作為照顧者，能夠即時知道姐姐的想法，壓力亦自然減少。」此外，美玲和美蓉亦會跟隨「樂隨風合唱團」到不同機構探訪，並為康山中心的朋輩電話關顧熱線擔任義工，支援同路人。

長者院舍服務
秉持全人照顧及以人為本的精神，香港復康會透過長者安老院舍及設施，包括曾肇添護老院及香港賽馬會深圳復康會頤康院，以及提供短暫住宿訓練、日間復康療程等身心復康服務的香港復康會賽馬會樂齡互康園，為長者提供全面優質的住宿、持續照顧及復康服務，活出精采黃金歲月。

香港賽馬會深圳復康會頤康院莫思傑院長：為長者建立正面形象
挑選合適的安老院舍時，除了考量院方的醫療資源支援及復康服務外，社交及休閒需要亦是另一關鍵。子女為百齡長者鄧婆婆選擇在香港賽馬會深圳復康會頤康院安老，除了因為院舍綠意盎然的環境以及充足的公共空間之外，在與莫思傑院長共同訂立照顧方案時，亦留意到院長真正用心關顧長者，加上院舍設有跨專業團隊，提供一系列專業護理、復康治療、社交和輔導服務等，有條件讓長者發展有品質的晚年生活。而鄧婆婆入住後很快建立社交圈子，常與其他院友參與可以促進大腦靈活度及記憶力的天九遊戲。院舍致力為長者提供各類型興趣活動，讓他們持續學習，維持活躍。莫院長表示：「長者保持服裝及儀容端莊整潔是社交禮儀一種，亦可建立正面形象，所以院內設有美容美髮室，鼓勵院友打扮自己，展現我們對長者的關愛及尊重。我們亦會舉辦時裝表演秀，看見院友舉手投足流露自信，綻放活力與姿采，我們也很鼓舞。」此外，他亦提到院友每星期外出購物時均表現雀躍，除了可以在超市選購心儀物品，亦可以與其他人士互動，與社會保持聯繫。

社會企業
香港復康會自1997年開始營運社會企業「營康薈」（LiveSmart），員工有超過70%為殘疾人士或長期病患者，提供就業及培訓機會，讓他們發揮所長，協助他們重回就業市場，自力更生。「營康薈」主要銷售復康用品及健康食品，設有多間門市，並提供送貨服務。

「營康薈」車長阿文：即使身體上有限制，亦可助人自助
阿文原本任職電梯公司學徒，16年前由於意外而令右手受到重創，活動能力大受影響。後來報讀了香港復康會職業復康及再培訓中心的文職班，在中心導師指導及鼓勵下，購置及改裝輕型貨車轉投運輸業，並開始為「營康薈」提供物流服務。阿文憶述：「初期送貨單數量較少，到後來網站發展成熟，分店愈開愈多，送貨量亦隨之增加，感覺就像與『營康薈』一同成長和進步。不少同事們均有不同程度的身體障礙或病患，大家互勉互勵，工作環境更顯包容。」他更提及一段難忘的送貨經歷：「有一次為一對行動不便、需要使用拐杖的夫婦運送四箱營養奶，當我把貨物搬上三層樓及擺放好後，他們表示十分感激，令我深感自己身體上即使有限制，仍可以透過適合的工作發揮所長，實踐助人自助的精神。」

職業復康及再培訓中心
香港復康會旗下的職業復康及再培訓中心旨在為因疾病或意外導致肢體殘疾及長期病患者提供全面的就業培訓及就業輔導，提升其工作能力及培養信心及積極態度，並透過工作轉介服務，協助殘疾人士及長期病患者重投社會，重拾尊嚴及信心。

職業復康及再培訓中心導師林良明：見到學員學以致用最開心
林良明（明Sir）曾勇奪全港肢體傷殘人士中文電腦打字比賽冠軍，其後在1994年成為職業復康及再培訓中心導師，教授接待員及實用文職培訓課程。當時不少學員獲聘為傳呼機傳呼員及投注站職員，就業率達九成。到2009年，明Sir於中心加開數碼攝影班，教授攝影知識、相機操作及後期修圖。回看30年導師生涯，明Sir特別提到其中一位學員的故事：「這位學員因工傷緣故，手部不能拿重物。完成攝影班後，他由攝影助理開始做起，到後來成立自己的攝影公司，第一單生意就是替兒子拍攝大學畢業照，令我印象深刻。」殘疾人士受病情影響而較容易疲累，出外工作成為一大挑戰，但明Sir亦特別寄語學員：「不要說自己做不到。我的手也不靈活，但我亦可以打字和拍攝。比起躲在家中，更重要的是活得開心之餘，要證明自己亦有謀生能力。」

基層醫療
香港復康會同樣照顧社會上的基層醫療需要，透過支持食物及衞生局地區康健中心計劃，承辦中西區、東區及沙田區共三個「地區康健站」，提供以預防為本的醫療健康服務，包括健康推廣及教育活動、風險評估及篩查和長期病患管理，促進市民的預防性健康管理意識。

國際及中國服務

香港復康會的服務範圍不止於本港，於1986年獲世界衛生組織委任為其復康協作中心，在內地以至亞太地區積極推動復康服務發展，包括提供培訓予在醫院、康復中心、福利院及慈善機構內工作的醫生、護士、治療師及保健員，並透過四川揚康殘疾人康復技術培訓指導中心，積極推動當地復康服務發展。海外培訓項目方面，香港復康會亦與尼泊爾及菲律賓當地機構合作，促進兒童復康訓練發展。

開拓創新復康服務 為未來持續求進
香港人口中約每三個人就有一個為殘疾或長期病患者，他們的需要不容忽視，隨着人口老化，香港的復康需求亦年年遞增。復康是長期作戰，過程中需要專業人士協助以及輔助器材方面的支援。為配合社會結構改變及人口老化帶來的復康需求，香港復康會除持續發展現有服務外，位於藍田的總部大樓亦即將展開重建工程，屆時規模和服務亦將大幅擴展，以繼續提供創新復康服務，致力幫助殘疾人士、長期病患者、長者及有需要人士發展全人健康，過有尊嚴和豐盛的生活。

社會各界的支持對會務的持續發展至關重要。捐款及贊助詳情：https://www.rehabsociety.org.hk/zh-hant/donation/。

The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation:
Empowering Lives with Dignity for 65 years

For 65 years, The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR) has been dedicated to serving the community with comprehensive rehabilitation and health management services to persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and the elderly, helping them to restore their potential and particiate in the community, while empowering them to live a fulfilling life with dignity. Founded in 1959 by the late Prof. Sir Harry Fang, the Father of Rehabilitation, HKSR has stayed true to its mission of promoting innovation in rehabilitation, advocating for holistic well-being, and building an inclusive and enabling society.

As a pioneer in rehabilitation services and the longest-standing charity in Hong Kong specialising in rehabilitation, HKSR has consistently excelled in its mission. In 1962, the organisation opened its first-ever rehabilitation hospital in Hong Kong, which was also the first accessible building in the territory. Responding to the growing demand for rehabilitation services, HKSR has expanded its scope to include accessible transport and travel, community rehabilitation centres, residential services for the elderly, vocational rehabilitation and retraining, as well as health promotion and education.

HKSR provides one-stop services covering rehabilitation, health management, accessible transport and travel, vocational training, and elderly care. The organisation remains committed to its vision of enhancing social inclusiveness in the community and continues to expand its diversified service scope. By empowering persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and the elderly to restore their potential and participate in the community, HKSR enables them to live fulfilling lives with dignity.

Comprehensive Services in Different Aspects
Through its 29 service units in Hong Kong and Mainland China, HKSR provides diverse and innovative services to over 1.3 million attendees annually. The extensive services on different aspects include rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and the elderly, as well as supportive services for professionals and caregivers. The organisation also offers prevention-oriented healthcare services to promote holistic health in society.

Accessible Transport and Travel

Since the introduction of Rehabus in 1978, HKSR has been a pioneer in providing transportation services tailored to the special needs of persons with mobility difficulties and the elderly. The organisation has since expanded the services to include Easy-Access Transport Services Ltd., Easy-Access Travel Ltd., and Accessible Hire Car, addressing the diverse needs of users. Rehabus currently operates the largest fleet of accessible buses in Hong Kong, serving over 800,000 passenger trips per year.

A Life-Changing Experience: Accessible Transport for Rare Disease Patients Freeman Choy and His Mother Mrs. Choy

Freeman Choy, a rare disease patient, and his mother, Mrs. Choy, have experienced firsthand the impact of accessible transport on their lives. Diagnosed with Juvenile Alexander Disease at the age of nine, Freeman has relied on a wheelchair for mobility. With regular hospital visits, school attendance, and extracurricular activities like hydrotherapy and boccia classes, he requires reliable and wheelchair-friendly transportation. However, options are limited: wheelchair-accessible taxis are expensive and scarce, while low-floor minibuses are in high demand. Some hospitals are far from MTR stations, making the MTR an inconvenient choice.

Before using the Accessible Hire Car Service, Freeman often relied on public buses, facing delays and occasional discrimination from others. With a referral from medical professionals, he now benefits from barrier-free point-to-point transportation services through the “ecAccess4Children Scheme” to travel between home and hospitals for treatments.

Mrs. Choy recalls a life-changing experience when her son’s blood oxygen level dropped to 70% after contracting COVID-19. Despite booking an Accessible Hire Car Service with a scheduled arrival time of 12:00 noon, she was able to contact the driver, Mr. Yip, who arrived 45 minutes earlier to take her son to the hospital in time. Mrs. Choy emphasises the importance of fostering an inclusive society through public education and extending the concept of accessibility beyond infrastructure construction and accessible design.

Community Rehabilitation
HKSR offers comprehensive community rehabilitation services to help persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, and the elderly overcome daily challenges and improve their quality of life, via promoting healthy lifestyles, rebuilding self-confidence, and establishing mutual support networks. Its facilities include the Centre on Health and Wellness, which offers one-stop rehabilitation services to promote holistic health; the Cheng Tak Yim Day Rehabilitation and Care Centre, specialising in rehabilitative therapy and nursing care for persons with chronic illnesses such as stroke, dementia, and brain injuries; and the Community Rehabilitation Network (CRN) which provides holistic and diversified rehabilitation services and promote self-help and mutual aid for persons with chronic illnesses and their caregivers. HKSR has also launched e2Care, a one-stop self-learning and barrier-free health management platform that provides information on prevention-oriented healthcare and chronic illness management to the public.

“Music Therapy Eases Speech Difficulty,” said Mei-ling, a Caregiver of Stroke Patient

Mei-ling, a caregiver for her sister Mee-yung, who suffered a stroke in 2014, shares her heartwarming experience with HKSR’s “Stroke Choir” initiative. Mee-yung’s impaired ability to speak had caused significant stress and emotional distress for both sisters, until they discovered the power of music therapy.

“My sister could hardly speak after her stroke, making it very difficult and stressful for me to understand her thoughts and needs,” Mei-ling recalls. “I discovered the ‘Stroke Choir’ at the Kornhill Centre under HKSR’s Community Rehabilitation Network, which aims to ease speech difficulties in stroke patients through music therapy. I enrolled with my sister, and we practiced during our daily care routines.”

Therapists paired daily conversations with melodies, a special technique to help patients remember and express themselves by “singing” their needs. The training not only improved communication between the sisters but also alleviated their emotional stress.

Mei-ling expresses her gratitude with joy, “My sister is very happy to be able to express herself, and for me as a caregiver, instantly understanding her thoughts reduces my stress naturally.” In addition to participating in “Stroke Choir” performances at various organisations, Mei-ling and Mee-yung also volunteer as peer support hotline operators at the Kornhill Centre.

Residential Care for the Elderly
HKSR provides comprehensive residential services, long-term care, and rehabilitation services designed for the elderly, embodying the values of holistic care and human-oriented care. Services are offered through two elderly homes: the Tsang Shiu Tim Home for the Elderly and the Hong Kong Jockey Club Yee Hong Heights. Additionally, the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation Jockey Club Geriatric Rejuvenation Hub provides short-stay homes for intensive rehabilitation and care, as well as daytime rehabilitation services, to support seniors in living a quality life.

Jackie Mo, Superintendent of Hong Kong Jockey Club Yee Hong Heights: Let’s Help the Elderly Shine!
At Hong Kong Jockey Club Yee Hong Heights, social and recreational needs are just as important as medical resources and rehabilitation services. For Ms Tang, a resident of the facility, her children appreciated the lush environment, ample communal spaces, and the sincere attitude of Jackie Mo, Superintendent of Hong Kong Jockey Club Yee Hong Heights, when discussing their mother’s care plan. They are confident that Ms Tang will enjoy a quality life in the elderly home, which is equipped with multi-disciplinary professionals and a range of rehabilitation, social, and counseling services.

After moving in, Ms Tang has been enjoying activities such as playing Tien Gow, a game that boosts thinking and improves memory, with her fellow residents. She also participates in various recreational activities that encourage socialisation and learning. Jackie Mo highlights the importance of a vibrant lifestyle for the elderly, “Dressing decently is a form of social etiquette that helps seniors build a positive image. We provide beauty and hairdressing services for our residents as a gesture of our care and respect. Sometimes, we even stage fashion shows for our residents to show off their beauty. It is a great delight to see them shine with confidence and vitality.”

The residents also look forward to their weekly shopping day in the supermarket, which provides an opportunity for social interaction and connection with society. Jackie Mo’s approach to care is centered around empowering seniors to live their best lives, and her dedication to creating a supportive and engaging environment is evident in the smiles of the residents.

Social Enterprises
In 1997, HKSR established “LiveSmart”, a social enterprise that aimed at providing job opportunities and on-the-job training to persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses. The enterprise focuses on selling rehabilitation products, health and organic foods, and offers delivery services. With over 70% of its employees being persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses, LiveSmart empowers them to contribute to the community, facilitates their reintegration into the workforce, and fosters their independence.

A Story of Resilience and Determination – LiveSmart’s delivery driver Ah-Man

Ah-Man, a delivery driver at LiveSmart, is a testament to the power of resilience and determination. After suffering a severe injury in an accident 16 years ago, Ah-Man lost partial mobility in his right hand. To adapt to this change, he enrolled in a clerical training course at the Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining Centre of HKSR. Encouraged by his instructor, Ah-Man purchased and modified a light goods vehicle, venturing into the transport sector to provide logistics services to LiveSmart.

“I have witnessed the growth of LiveSmart, from handling only a few delivery orders in the early days to managing a higher volume, thanks to the expansion of the e-shop and the opening of new stores,” Ah-Man shares. “It feels like I have grown alongside with LiveSmart throughout this journey. Working with colleagues who have different degrees of physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, we have managed to build an inclusive workplace filled with mutual support and understanding.”

Ah-Man recalls a memorable experience that highlights the impact of his work. “I once received an order to deliver four boxes of nutritional milk to a married couple with mobility challenges who relied on walking aids. After carrying the boxes to their home on the third floor, the couple expressed profound gratitude. This experience was significant to me as it showed that, despite my physical limitations, I can still make a meaningful contribution to society through a suitable job.”

Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining Centre
The Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining Centre provides one-stop services, including vocational training, counseling, and job referral services, to enhance the working abilities and capacities of persons with disabilities or chronic illnesses. The centre aims to nurture their confidence and positive attitude, empowering them to re-enter the employment market.

Lam Leung-ming, Instructor of the Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining Centre: It Is a Pleasure to See My Students Make a Living from What They Learned
Lam Leung-ming, also known as “Ming Sir”, has been an instructor at the Vocational Rehabilitation and Retraining Centre since 1994. A former champion of the Chinese computer typing competition for physically disabled person, Ming Sir teaches receptionist skills and practical office administration courses. His students have achieved an impressive employment rate of 90%, with many securing jobs as pager operators or staff in betting branches.

In 2009, Ming Sir began teaching courses on digital photography, photo editing, and video post-production. Reflecting on his 30-year teaching career, he shares a heartwarming story of a student who overcame adversity to achieve success. “The student could not lift heavy objects with his hands due to a work injury incident. After completing the photography course, he started his career as a photography assistant and eventually established his own company. His first assignment was to take graduation photos for his son – it is a truly meaningful and touching story!”

Ming Sir’s message to his students is one of hope and resilience. “Don’t give up! It is hard for me to control my hands too, but I can still type and take photographs. Instead of giving up and staying at home, you can still find your strength to make a living and live a happy life.” His dedication and passion for teaching have inspired countless students to reach their full potential and pursue their dreams.

Primary Healthcare
Primary healthcare service is part of HKSR’s core services. In support of the Food and Health Bureau’s District Health Centre (DHC) initiative, HKSR operates three “DHC Express” centres in the Central & Western, Eastern, and Shatin districts. These centres provide prevention-oriented healthcare services, including health promotion and education, health risk factor assessments and screening, and chronic illness management. The goal is to promote the concept of preventive health management and empower individuals to take control of their health.

International and China services
HKSR’s work extends beyond Hong Kong to promote the development of rehabilitation services in Mainland China and the Asia-Pacific region. In 1986, HKSR became the first organisation in Hong Kong to be designated as a WHO Collaborating Centre. Since then, HKSR have been at the forefront of promoting the advancement of rehabilitation services through training and capacity-building programs to medical professionals, nurses, therapists and caregivers in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, welfare homes and NGOs. These efforts include the establishment of the Sichuan Yang Kang Rehabilitation Resource Centre, which enhances local rehabilitation services in Sichuan, as well as collaborating with local organisations in Nepal and the Philippines to provide training programmes that support rehabilitation for children.

Pioneering Innovative Rehabilitation Services: A Vision for a Better Future
Rehabilitation is a long-term battle that requires significant assistance from rehabilitation professionals and ancillary equipment. HKSR offers one-stop rehabilitation services including rehabilitation, management of chronic illnesses, vocational training, community support in rehabilitation, accessible transport, travel and elderly home services, etc. With approximately one in three persons in Hong Kong suffering from some form of disability or being a patient with a chronic illness, alongside with a growing aging population, there is an increasing demand for the HKSR’s services. HKSR is committed to meeting the evolving rehabilitation needs of a changing society. As part of this commitment, it is undertaking a major reconstruction project at its Lam Tin headquarters, which will significantly expand its capacity and facilitate it to continue delivering innovative rehabilitation services to an ag-ing population.
