Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Hospital Authority (Hong Kong): The statutory body operating all public hospitals and their rehabilitation departments in Hong Kong. HKSR's District Health Centres, hospital-embedded Live Smart stores, and rehab services are tightly interconnected with HA's discharge and referral pipeline, making it the dominant system player shaping HKSR's demand environment.
• Hong Kong Red Cross: A large international humanitarian organization with a substantial Hong Kong operation delivering health, elderly, and disability-related community services. Competes with HKSR for Community Chest agency membership, corporate donors, and volunteer pools.
• The Salvation Army Hong Kong: A major international NGO operating elderly residential care homes, rehabilitation, vocational training, and community programmes in Hong Kong. Comparable in operating scale and revenue diversification to HKSR and a direct competitor for government tenders and donor dollars.

Direct peers

• St James Settlement: A large Hong Kong multi-service NGO delivering rehabilitation, elderly care, vocational training, and community health programmes. Competes with HKSR directly for Community Chest funding, government service contracts, and corporate partnerships in the rehabilitation space.
• SAHK (Hong Kong Association for the Physically Disabled): A specialized Hong Kong NGO providing rehabilitation, vocational training, and employment support specifically for persons with physical disabilities — the most mission-aligned peer to HKSR's vocational rehabilitation and accessible transport services, and a partner in the e-Track pilot programme.
• Haven of Hope Christian Service: A major Hong Kong Christian NGO operating residential care homes, rehabilitation services, and elderly programmes across multiple districts — the closest like-for-like multi-service rehabilitation and elderly care operator competing with HKSR for government tenders and donor funding.
• Caritas Hong Kong: One of Hong Kong's largest welfare NGOs, operating residential care homes, rehabilitation services, community centres, and vocational programmes — a broad-based incumbent competing with HKSR across nearly every service line including elderly and disability services.
• The Hong Kong Society for the Aged: A Hong Kong NGO specializing in elderly care and ageing-related services, including residential care homes and community support. Directly comparable to HKSR's elderly residential and day care service lines and competing for similar government subsidies and donors.
• Heung Hoi Ching Kok Buddhist Association: A Hong Kong Buddhist charitable organization operating elderly residential care homes and rehabilitation services, with a comparable multi-site operating model and similar reliance on government subsidies and donations.
• The Hong Kong Society for the Blind: A Hong Kong NGO providing rehabilitation, residential care, vocational training, and social enterprise employment specifically for visually impaired persons. Comparable operating model to HKSR's Live Smart social enterprise and rehabilitation centre network.
