賽馬會齡活城市計劃 ︳「地區小改變．齡活大意義」地區行動 - 口齒「齡」「利」

「地區小改變．齡活大意義」地區行動 - 口齒「齡」「利」
行動內容：面對老齡化社會帶來的各種醫療需求，專科門診、看護服務等供應漸漸增多，然而基層牙科醫療的服務仍然杯水車薪。長者們普遍缺乏牙科保健意識，直到牙痛難耐才意識到口腔健康的重要性。由於大部分長者無法負擔昂貴的治療費用，飽受牙痛困擾，影響生活質素。為此，「齡活大使」主導的「社區小改變行動方案」，透過收集市民尤其長者對牙科保健服務的意見，向政府反映相關資料和公共牙科護理政策建議，以完善公營牙科醫療服務。
長者及年齡友善範疇：社區與健康服務
夥伴機構：香港基督教服務處順利長者鄰舍中心
地區：觀塘區

"Small Changes in the Community, Big Improvement in Age-friendliness" Community Action - Improving public dental services
Action Content: The aging society brings various medical needs, the supply of specialist outpatient clinics and nursing services has gradually increased, but the primary dental care services are still insufficient. Elderly people generally lack of dental health knowledge and only realize the importance of oral health when they suffer from unbearable toothaches. As most elderly people cannot afford expensive treatment costs, they are troubled by toothaches, affecting their quality of life. To address this issue, the "Age-friendly City Ambassadors'' leads the "Community Action Plan," which collects opinions from citizens, especially the elderly, on public dental services. The survey data and public dental policy suggestions are then submitted to the government to help improve public dental services.
Domains of Age-friendly City: Community Support and Health Services
Partner organization: Hong Kong Christian Service Shun Lee Neighbourhood Elderly Centre

About the Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project
The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust launched the Jockey Club Age-friendly City Project in 2015 to respond to the challenges and opportunities brought by an aging population. The project, in collaboration with Lingnan University's Asia-Pacific Institute of Ageing Studies and gerontology research units of three local universities, has trained more than 2,600 "Age-friendly City Ambassadors" in all 18 districts of Hong Kong.
To expand the impact of the "Age-friendly City Ambassador Scheme," the Lingnan University professional support team trained over 600 people from 2022 to 2023 through the public educational "Age-friendly City Learning Hub" , enabling more stakeholders to become "Age-friendly City Ambassadors" . Ambassadors can develop in three stages from Level 1 to Level 3. These stages include training for "Age-friendly City Ambassadors," "Ambassador Interns," and "Ambassador Facilitator." The project has established 13 community practice cases covering the eight domains of the Age-friendly City, providing valuable and feasible solutions to cope with the challenges of an aging population in the future, contributing to the promotion of sustainable development in society.
