How to Find a Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Social Service Unit or Service Building Near You
Updated
Use the service unit search on tungwahcsd.org to filter by service category and by district, or switch to the service building search if you are looking for a whole building rather than a single unit. The site also offers a keyword search box. All three tools sit on the same social services homepage, so you can move between them without leaving the page.
What the search tools on the site actually do
The Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Social Services Division (東華三院社會服務科) homepage provides three separate ways to locate services:
- Service unit search (服務單位搜尋) — narrows results by service type and by district.
- Service building search (服務大樓搜尋) — narrows results by district only, for locating a building.
- Keyword search (關鍵字搜尋) — for when you already know part of a name or topic.
Each tool is a filter, not a map. You choose the criteria, and the site returns matching units or buildings.
Step-by-step: finding a service unit
- Open the social services homepage at tungwahcsd.org.
- Go to the service unit search area.
- Pick a service category. The site groups services under four headings:
- 安老服務 (elderly services)
- 青少年及家庭服務 (youth and family services)
- 復康服務 (rehabilitation services)
- 社會企業及社會創新 (social enterprises and social innovation)
- Pick a district. The available districts listed on the page are: 中西區, 九龍城, 元朗, 北區, 南區, 大埔, 屯門, 東區, 沙田, 油尖旺, 深水埗, 灣仔, 荃灣, 葵青, 西貢, 觀塘, 長沙灣, 離島, 黃大仙.
- Read the results and note the unit that matches your need.
Expected result: a filtered list of units that fall under both the service category and the district you selected. If the combination returns nothing, that category may not have a unit in that district — try a neighbouring district or drop the category filter.
Step-by-step: finding a service building
If you need the building rather than a specific unit, use the service building search instead. It uses the same district list as above but does not ask for a service category. Select your district and review the buildings returned.
When to use keyword search instead
Use the keyword search box when you already have a name or topic in mind — for example a programme name, a service type, or a term you saw in a news item on the homepage. This is faster than browsing categories when you know what you are looking for, but it depends on the exact wording used on the site, so try a shorter term if the first attempt returns nothing.
Choosing between the three tools
| Your situation | Tool to use |
|---|---|
| You know the service type and the district | Service unit search |
| You know the district but not the service type | Service building search, or unit search with district only |
| You have a name or topic in mind | Keyword search |
| You want everything available in one district | Service building search |
Common sticking points
- A category plus district returns nothing. Not every service category operates in every district. Widen the district or check a nearby one.
- You are not sure which category fits. Elderly services, youth and family services, rehabilitation services, and social enterprises cover most listings; if a need spans two, try both.
- The district names are in Chinese. The list covers all 18 areas of Hong Kong, so match your location to the closest listed district name.
- You want a specific programme rather than a unit. Programme names appear in the news and activities section of the homepage; use keyword search for those, or contact the relevant service division.
The homepage also carries a site map, FAQ, privacy policy, disclaimer, copyright notice, and contact page if you need to reach the organisation directly.
