Ryan Ip: Elderly Fall-Prevention Home Modifications Reduce Medical Expenditure Pressures

12 Apr 2025 (Sat)

Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) launched its research report titled "Policy Path to Ageing in Place for Hong Kong: Shaping an Inclusive Housing and Community Landscape" on 10 Apr. In recent years, senior living has become a significant topic in Hong Kong due to the city's rapidly ageing population. Projections suggest that by 2046, over 65s will make up 36% of the population, with a significant majority (over 80%) preferring to age in place. However, Hong Kong's elderly care resources still lean towards institutional care, and support for ageing in place needs to be improved.

Ryan Ip, Vice President of Our Hong Kong Foundation and Executive Director of Public Policy Institute, stated that by 2046, simply implementing home modifications and inclusive designs to eliminate household hazards and reduce fall risks among the elderly could potentially save HKD 5.6 billion in annual healthcare expenditures.
