Children’s Residential Home

Service Features

The Needs of Our Children

In recent years, children are admitted to the Children’s Residential Home mainly because parents are drug abusers, suspected child abusers, or have inadequate parenting skills or mental health problems. More than half of the children are under Care or Protection Order or Social Welfare Department Guardianship.

In addition, many of the parents had habits which had affected their children’s health and development. Some of the children are diagnosed with developmental delay or disabilities and have to receive regular treatment.
