The elderly contribute greatly to the well-being of their families and society, and it is society's responsibility to care for them. To honor the elderly’s contributions to our society, it is hoped that society can pitch in to help the elderly enjoy their golden years in peace and comfort.

Mr. Li is a keen supporter of services for the elderly, and has helped finance five homes for the elderly in Hong Kong. The aim is to provide the elderly with the comprehensive facilities and the professional services that they need to enjoy a healthy and productive life, and to help them stay in touch with their families and the community.

Mr. Li cares deeply about their quality of life, and donates mooncakes and gifts to the elderly during the Mid-Festival Festival, Lunar New Year, and other festivals. The five homes Mr. Li has helped finance include the following:

Buddhist Li Ka Shing Care and Attention Home for the Elderly, 133 Tai Hang Road, Hong Kong

This home was completed in April 1990 and covers an area of 15,000 sq. ft. It is ten stories high and accommodates 250 people. In addition to the usual facilities, the home includes a Buddhist worship hall, which can also be used to accommodate more than 200 people for lectures and other activities. In November 2000, a garden was added for the elderly residents.
