To express gratitude for the work of pastors and missionaries, we have established the “Quality Infirmary Care Bed Programme for Christian Pastors/Pastors’ Parents”. This programme supports them and their families in addressing changing physical conditions and care needs. It is suitable for individuals whose physical condition is relatively stable and who require transitional, as well as long-term care.

• Continuous Care Support
  Facing changes in physical conditions (such as stroke, dementia, and other long-term illnesses), care needs may increase to a point where home care becomes challenging. This programme provides transitional care for patients who need long-term care services (with a maximum residential period of 5 years).
• Quality Medical Care
  Resident doctors make regular rounds, working with the nursing team to provide patients with meticulous and personalized long-term care and medical support.
• Integrated Psycho-Social-Spiritual Care
  Our psycho-social-spiritual team (consisting of chaplains and social workers) regularly provides pastoral care and emotional support. They also organize various social and recreational activities to enhance the quality of life for patients.
• Tranquil Environment
  Our peaceful natural setting and comprehensive facilities allow residents to recuperate comfortably and tranquilly. Patients admitted through this programme will be arranged to stay in rooms accommodating 4 to 7 people.

Applicants must undergo assessment by our centre’s social worker and meet all of the following criteria:

• The applicant (patient) must be*:
  • Current or retired full-time Christian pastor, missionary, chaplain, or someone who has
    resigned due to terminal illness, along with their spouse, or;
  • Parent or spouse’s parent of a current or retired full-time Christian pastor, missionary, or chaplain.

*Valid documentation of ministry is required upon application (regular updates are required if the stay extends beyond 1 year)

• Health Condition:
  • Relatively stable physical condition, with transitional care needs to long-term care needs.
• Financial Condition (applicable only to the “Quality Infirmary Care Bed Programme for Christian Pastors/Pastors’ Parents”):
  • Passed the household financial assessment 
    1. The household financial assessment is primarily based on the income and assets of the applicant and all family members living together.
    2. If the combined total of the “assets” and “income in the past 6 months” of the applicant and all family members living together does not exceed the “household financial affordability limit”, the applicant is eligible for admission (details provided in the next page).

The Household Financial Affordability Limit is used to access an applicant’s affordability, the sum of the following two components. It is used to reflect and assess the applicant’s affordability. It does not necessarily reflect the total financial resources available to the applicant. For more details, please contact the social worker:

1. Household Assets Limit (including cash, savings deposits, investments and non-owner-occupied properties etc.)
2. The government has published information regarding the ceiling of the household income for the past six months which cannot exceed 3.5 times the median over that period.

• Applicants who meet the above criteria and pass the financial assessment are eligible to receive a 70% subsidy on the basic accommodation fee*. The applicants would only be required to pay 30% of the accommodation fee*, which equates to approximately $8,184 per month. This fee includes rental, regular visits from the resident and consulting doctors (resident doctor visits every two weeks, consulting doctor visits monthly), basic psycho-social-spiritual care activities, meals, laundry, feeding, and miscellaneous expenses.
• For other charges, a 30% subsidy is available with the applicant responsible for the remaining 70% of the costs. The precise amount of these other charges will depend on the required level of care, rehabilitation needs, and any additional services chosen by the applicant (for example, if the other charges for a given month amount to $5,000, the applicant would only be required to pay 70% of these charges, which equates to $3,500 per month).

*The monthly fee for the Quality Infirmary Care Bed Programme is approximately $27,280 (based on a weekly fee of $6,160 calculated over 31 days). The patient will reside at the Sister Annie Skau Block within the Haven of Hope Sister Annie Skau Holistic Care Centre.
