The Illuminant (鐵樹銀花) is a self-finance social enterprise set up in 2018. Our visions are to integrate Japan’s Kaigo concepts, practices and experience into Hong Kong elderly-care services and local community, so as to develop a culture and environment where the older people can live an easy, independent life with the support of neighbourhood.
Our Chinese name “鐵樹銀花” literally means “Silver flowers blossoming on the iron trees”, it is an analogy to our belief that “Being given a supportive care environment, the aged can shine in heir late-life despite being vulnerable”.
