The Community Care Service Voucher Scheme (CCSV) for the Elderly (the Scheme) provides community care services (CCS) through adopting "money-following-the-user" and "affordable users pay" subsidy mode.

Features of the Scheme

"Money-following-the-user": directly subsidise eligible elderly persons so that they can freely choose and switch Recognised Service Providers (RSPs) under the Scheme, and adjust service items and volumes.

"Affordable users pay": the less an elderly person can afford, the more government subsidy he/she receives.

Mixed mode services: elderly persons can use both day care and home care services at the same time.

Services available within a short time: in general, the SWD will complete the vetting and approval process and issue the vouchers within two to four weeks upon receipt of applications.
