Community Case Management Service (CCMS)

About Community Case Management Service (CCMS)

 

LB’s Community Case Management Service provides support for vulnerable seniors* and their caregivers who face difficulties in managing their multiple health and social care needs, so that they may continue living in the community or at home as long as possible.

We deliver holistic care centred on the individual’s needs, thus empowering the seniors in managing their own care independently or with the help of their families / caregivers / community services, and optimising their health and quality of life in order to promote ageing-in-place.

* A vulnerable senior is a person who suffers from social isolation, depression or physical disabilities, which leads one to be unable to care for oneself.

Programme Objectives

  • Prevent or delay institutionalisation of vulnerable seniors by delivering holistic care centred on an individual’s needs.
  • Empower the seniors in managing their own care independently or with the help of their families / caregivers / community services.
  • Optimise seniors’ health and quality of life and to promote ageing-in-place.
