Brief History
Lok Sin Tong Chu Ting Cheong Home For The Aged is a government subvented combined home for the elderlies. The land was generously donated by Mr. Chu Yan Kit, according to his late father Mr. Chu Ting Cheong’s will in Spring, 1976. The Home’s construction work began in April, 1981 and started to provide services in June, 1983.
