Abstract

This study examines the dominance of the private market in residential care homes. Private RCHEs account for the majority of the number of RCHEs in Hong Kong. At the same time, the quality of private residential care homes for the elderly varies, and the public has been questioning them over the years. While subsidized residential care homes for the elderly are better than private residential care homes in terms of service quality and environmental quality, the supply of subsidized residential care homes for the elderly is insufficient. The Government's RCHE policy has always lacked a long-term and effective plan. Therefore, through a questionnaire survey, we can understand the problems faced by the elderly who need to be admitted to residential care homes. In this way, it analyzes what problems and how to improve the current residential care homes for the elderly due to the dominance of the private market.
