Enhanced Bought Place Scheme
The Social Welfare Department(SWD) has purchased places from private homes for the elderly under the Enhanced Bought Place Scheme (EBPS) since 1998, with a view to upgrading the service standard of these homes through enhanced service requirements in terms of staffing and space standard. This also helps to increase the supply of subsidised places so as to reduce elders' waiting time for subsidised care-and-attention places.
Monthly Fee
- $1,763 (EA1)
- $1,656 (EA2)
