Chronic Disease & Mental Health Management
About the Service
BMS Clinic is committed to serving our surrounding Hong Kong community (Cheung Sha Wan and Lai Chi Kok) by providing comprehensive chronic disease and mental health support, especially for seniors. With an ageing population, many elderly face interconnected challenges: physical conditions like diabetes and hypertension (affecting 1 in 3+ adults), high cholesterol (over 65% in those 65+), kidney issues, stroke risks—plus mental health concerns such as dementia (~9.7–18.9% prevalence in community elders, rising to 30–50% in 85+) and stress/anxiety (common due to isolation, chronic illness, or life changes). Our integrated program delivers personalized, evidence-based care from a multidisciplinary team (doctors, nurses, dietitians, and mental health support), with multilingual options (Cantonese, English, Mandarin). We focus on early detection, prevention, self-management, and family involvement to improve quality of life and reduce complications.
Services Offered
Our program covers prevalent physical and mental health conditions among Hong Kong seniors with coordinated, preventive care:
- Diabetes Management Program: Personalized blood sugar monitoring, medication/insulin guidance, lifestyle coaching, and prevention of complications (e.g., kidney, eye, nerve issues).
- Hypertension and Heart Health Support: Ongoing blood pressure tracking, heart risk assessments, medication optimization, and education to lower heart disease and stroke risks.
- Nutritional Counseling for Seniors: Culturally tailored dietary plans (e.g., lower-sodium Cantonese meals) to control blood sugar, pressure, cholesterol, and kidney health while supporting energy and mood.
- Hyperlipidaemia / High Cholesterol Management: Lipid monitoring, lifestyle/medication guidance (e.g., statins), to reduce bad cholesterol and cardiovascular risks—key for local seniors.
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Screening and Support: Early kidney function tests (e.g., eGFR), management of related factors (pressure, sugar, lipids), and nutrition to slow progression.
- Stroke Prevention and Post-Stroke Care: Risk control (hypertension, diabetes, lipids), warning sign education, and recovery support to prevent first/recurrent events.
- Dementia Screening and Support: Gentle early assessments for cognitive impairment/dementia, vascular risk management (e.g., controlling blood pressure/cholesterol to protect brain health), education on symptoms, and family resources to support independence and daily living.
- Stress & Anxiety Management for Seniors: Screening and support for stress, anxiety, or related emotional challenges; coping strategies, relaxation techniques, lifestyle adjustments, and referrals for counseling—addressing links to chronic conditions, isolation, or life transitions.
All services follow Hong Kong guidelines, with a focus on prevention, regular monitoring, and empowering patients/families.
