 S1E53: 53| Evercare | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2543

Ken Wong used to work in finance in the USA but when he saw a need for improving aged care systems in his home town of Hong Kong, he created Evercare, a service that helps the elderly age with comfort and dignity. Evercare is an aged care service that provides people with an alternative way of aging in the home surrounded by family. Evercare developed a platform that marries technology and people by informing families about the health and wellbeing of their loved one. Evercare puts together a team of professional and creates an individual care program for the elderly so that they can be taken care of in the home and have their medical and emotional needs met. Ken discussed aging and the things that matter to the elderly like family, social connections and friends. He explains how as family members, we need to understand how important it is to communicate with the elderly and find out what they need and to ensure that we look at all the care options available. There is a stigma in Chinese culture when it comes to sending family members to aged care homes, so that’s where Evercare can be a huge support and provide an alternative to hospital care which can be quite crowded and stressful in Hong Kong. This is an eye-opening discussion about aging, health care, technology, family priorities and the alternative care options for the elderly.

 S1E48: 48| Facing the Truth | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1892

Olivia grew up in Hong Kong in a Chinese family. She realised that she suffered from anxiety and depression after she finished university. Her friends did not really understand her mental health issues and she found it difficult to manage her fluctuating emotions. Olivia developed an intense fear of failure and rejection, and was unable to do her job well. It was three or four years before she sought help and she was diagnosed as bipolar with depression and anxiety. Olivia found it very hard to accept this diagnosis and she tried to avoid the issue as she did not want to admit that she needed medication. Eventually, she tried medication and this helped her but she still found it difficult to accept her condition as she was worried about judgment from others. Her family was unable to accept her mental health issues as topics like this are rarely discussed in traditional Chinese families. At times she felt suicidal and this was very difficult for her to overcome. She talks about the cultural pressure that she feels to be the best and that she always wanted to be perfect. Olivia says she was forced to study hard as a child and this pressure added to her anxiety. Olivia explains how she feels mental health support could be improved in Hong Kong and she is thankful that she has found a very understanding doctor. Olivia’s mental health is an ongoing issue for her and she is bravely speaking out in the hope of helping others come to terms with their mental health struggles and she hopes they will seek the support that they need.
