The Senior Citizen Home Safety Association was founded by a group of enthusiastic citizens in 1996 in response to a disheartening incident in which more than one hundred elderly citizens living alone found dead during a cold spell.
The SCHSA mainly provides the "Personal Emergency Link" ("PE Link") Service and the Elder Ring Hotline Service to million elders' in Hong Kong. It is the only non-profit-making charitable organisation that offers a 24-hour PE Link emergency support service for elderly citizens living alone as well as for other people in need.
