Huang Chun-chang, head of the department's senior citizen welfare section, points out that the idea behind day centers is to enrich old people's leisure time and expand their social contacts, and ideally they should be established in every residential area to avoid transport problems.
社會局老人福利股股長黃春長表示，托老中心意在擴充老人的休閒生活及人際關係範圍，理想上應廣設在各社區內，以省去交通問題；「我們開辦的用意在拋磚引玉，希望引起業界經營的興趣」，他說。
