Under Age Well Neighbourhoods, the government will also augment home-based services similar to those offered at community care apartments.
Seniors can choose what they need, including services like simple home fixes and basic health checks.
Seniors with additional needs will be able to choose from options such as housekeeping, laundry and meal deliveries. They can also get help with daily activities, like showering and feeding.
Dedicated care staff will help to coordinate these services and visit seniors regularly. These staff members will also be first responders in times of emergencies.
The plan is to also bring healthcare services closer to seniors, said Mr Wong.
There will be more care facilities for those who need rehab and physiotherapy treatment.
