Transitional Support Service for Persons in Mental Recovery provides a stop-gap, timely and enhanced transitional support to service users to be discharged from hospital and waitlisted for halfway house service. Through medical-social collaboration, the clustered-based multi-disciplinary outreach support teams will help the service users to smoothly transition into halfway house service. Also, by strengthening support to their families/carers, service users' individual needs amid their recovery pathway will be met and they may reintegrate into the community.

Vacancy Enquiry System for Residential Respite Service for the Elderly

Respite services, including residential (RRS) and day respite service (DRS), are community support services that aim to provide temporary care for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) (including persons with intellectual disability, physical disability, hearing impairment, visual impairment and persons in mental recovery), allowing their carers to take a break and relieve their caring stress, thereby encouraging and helping PWDs to live in the community.

Private RCHDs under BPS which provide designated residential respite places can arrange emergency placement for persons with disabilities.
