Community Services

Objectives

Yee Hong provides a full spectrum of community-based services to enable seniors to maintain their independence and dignity and to live their lives to the fullest. Different programs and services are developed to promote social integration and quality of life and counter the sense of isolation and loneliness common among seniors.

Philosophy

Similar to the other services of Yee Hong, community-based services operate on the principles of client-centred and holistic approach to care. The core values of respect for client's wishes, acceptance and self determination are deeply embedded in the fabric of service provision. As well, we take a holistic approach that cares for the physical, emotional, social and spiritual well-being of seniors.
