Innovation in health infrastructure: Integrating technology, services and the built environment

In the face of the advancement of society, education and living standards, the more affluent elderly have higher expectation on retirement living. To fill this market gap, HKHS develops its first quality retirement living platform at the Tanner Hill Project with reference to the successful cases of senior housing model in developed countries such as Australia and Japan and its wealth of experience in elderly housing.

Designed as a three-tower residence with 588 independent living units atop a podium, the Tanner Hill Project encapsulates the synergy of innovative design by various professionals and consultants, and sets the prototype for a quality retirement living in Hong Kong by providing one-stop services for retirees, where they can age in place happily, healthily, gracefully and independently with dignity. It pioneered the development of an environment conducive to continuing care, with full spectrum of facilities and health infrastructure that enable the offering of quality services to facilitate independent and active living, as well as intensive skilled care to ensure quality ageing in place.

Comprising catering facilities including a restaurant and refreshment corner coupled with a great array of recreational and exercise facilities and activities, the Club and the Hub of the project are designed to encourage an active, positive, and laid-back lifestyle where tenants can satisfy their pursuit of intellectual commitment, social wellbeing, as well as a better family relationship.

The skilled care facilities are designed with the utmost respect for residents’ needs for physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing. With the inclusion of professional skilled care and cutting-edge technology, it aims at enriching the social intelligence and physical health of the residents, and through its introduction of wholistic care with 3Es – enriched life, enjoyment and enabled health.

What set the Tanner Hill Project apart from other retirement homes are its state-of-the-art, personalised and attentive senior-friendly home care support services backed by an integrated IT system – such as the 24-hour emergency call response system, no-motion response detection, entrance door contact tracking, and the health data collection and monitoring – and a worry-free environment.

With its facilities intended to be enjoyed by all, the Tanner Hill Project endeavours to incorporate elements of universal design inside the development, equipped with inconspicuous features that help tenants go a long way.

Through its partnership with a geriatric and family medical expert, the project is able to harness their expertise on geriatric and family medicine, and with its dedicated team of skilled care professionals and lifestyle management staffs, the Tanner Hill Project ensures tenants’ physical and psychological wellbeing is in safe hands.

With their wellbeing taken care of, their access to continuing care made available, and their physical and social needs fulfilled, future tenants of the Tanner Hill Project can look forward to ageing in place in a worry-free manner.
