3. Our Services
Ching Sum provides non-medical senior lifestyle services including Daily Living Support, Excursions and Day Outings, and Complete Residence Living. A description of each service is available at our Solutions page.
We do not provide medical, nursing or clinical care. Residents requiring medical attention are responsible for engaging their own healthcare providers.
Services are available to residents living in or moving to Discovery Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Geographic availability may change and will be communicated in advance if so.
4. Service Arrangements
Before receiving services, a resident or their authorised representative must enter into a written Service Arrangement. The Service Arrangement sets out the specific services to be provided, the applicable monthly rate, and any additional agreed terms.
No services will commence until a Service Arrangement has been signed by both parties.
5. Payment Terms
Monthly service fees are payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month in Hong Kong dollars (HKD). Current rates are:
- Daily Living Support: HK$1,150 per month
- Excursions and Day Outings: HK$2,380 per month
- Complete Residence Living: HK$3,840 per month
Rates may be revised with a minimum of 30 days' written notice. Payment methods accepted are set out in the Service Arrangement. Late payment may result in suspension of services.
6. Changes and Cancellation
A resident or their representative may change or cancel their service arrangement by providing 30 days' written notice. Changes take effect at the start of the following billing month unless otherwise agreed.
Ching Sum may terminate a Service Arrangement with 30 days' written notice if the resident's needs exceed what our non-medical services can reasonably accommodate, or in cases of serious or repeated breach of these terms.
7. Resident Responsibilities
Residents and their representatives agree to:
- Provide accurate and complete information relevant to the delivery of services
- Treat Ching Sum staff with respect
- Notify us of any significant change in health or circumstances that may affect the service arrangement
