The address puts it on an upper floor, so note the floor and unit number; some buildings ask visitors to register at the lobby, and lifts can be slow at busy times.

Residential care homes for the elderly in Hong Kong must be licensed by the Social Welfare Department, whose website lists them. Visit before choosing, and ask about care staffing, meals, visiting hours and the full fee breakdown; subsidised places are allocated through the department's central waiting list, which is usually long.

Google lists it as open 24 hours, seven days a week, though arrangements may change in a typhoon or other special circumstances, so call if it matters. You can call 3157 1368; a phone call is the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or how to get there. More information is on its website, elderlyhk.com.

At 4.0 out of 5 on Google (53 reviews), it sits mid-table; the written reviews say more about service, prices and waiting times than the number does.
