The Jockey Club “age at home” Gerontech Education and Rental Service commenced early this year. The pilot scheme covers three categories of services – education, rental, cleaning and maintenance, aiming to enhance public understanding on gerontechnology and its applications, and build up the capability and confidence of “ageing in place” among older persons and their carers. Welcome on-job carers, golden age or young-old employees to participate in education activities to learn more about gerontech.
