Since the prevalence of diseases may increase with age, the elderly may need long-term care services from the nursing homes; meanwhile, they have to give up their original community life. Hong Kong government is advancing the “ageing in place” plan for reducing the overload of nursing homes. This study explores the social and health implications of promoting “ageing in place” in Hong Kong, draws on examples from Singapore and provides suggestions for improvement.	Lam Y.
