North Point, Hong Kong
A Home That Feels Like One
Dragonwell was founded on the simple conviction that older adults deserve a place that is comfortable, respectful, and genuinely warm — not just functional.
Back to HomeOur Story
Dragonwell began as a quiet response to a question many Hong Kong families were asking: where can an older parent live with dignity, without being placed in an environment that feels impersonal or clinical?
The home was established in North Point — a neighbourhood with deep roots in the city's older Shanghainese and Cantonese communities — because its founders believed the setting mattered. Being close to familiar streets, temple gardens, and the harbour gives residents a sense of place.
Since opening, Dragonwell has welcomed residents who value quiet mornings, good food, and the company of people who listen. We are not a large institution. We run a small, intentional home where each person is known by name, preference, and story.
Our mission is straightforward: to make daily life pleasant. That means meals that are worth sitting down for, staff who are patient rather than hurried, and a schedule that bends around the individual rather than the other way around.
We hold no ambitions to grow into something large. What we do, we try to do well — and the families who choose Dragonwell tend to find us through word of mouth, one family speaking to another.
"The best thing we can offer is consistency. People who reliably show up, who know how someone takes their tea, who notice when something is off."
The People Behind Dragonwell
Margaret Lau
Founding Director
Margaret spent fifteen years in social work before opening Dragonwell. She oversees the home's culture and family relationships, and takes tea with residents most mornings.
Christopher Wong
Head of Resident Services
Christopher coordinates daily programmes, meal planning, and the weekly cultural sessions. He has worked in residential care settings in Hong Kong for over a decade.
Ying Chan
Care Companions Lead
Ying trains and supports the companion team, ensuring that every shift, day or night, is staffed by someone attentive and calm. She speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and English.
How We Run the Home
Meal Quality
Menus rotate weekly and are prepared fresh each day. Dietary preferences and any restrictions are documented for every resident. Meals are served at the table, not delivered to rooms.
24-Hour Presence
A care companion is on site at all hours. Night staff are trained to be attentive without being intrusive. Residents are never left alone in the home.
Safety and Environment
The home is designed to reduce fall risks, with handrails, non-slip surfaces, and clear lighting throughout. Regular safety checks are conducted by management.
Privacy and Discretion
Resident information is kept private. We do not share details with parties outside the family without written consent. Staff are trained in confidentiality as part of their induction.
Housekeeping Standards
Rooms are serviced daily. Common areas are cleaned throughout the day. Laundry and linen change are managed by staff on a regular schedule, or more often on request.
Family Communication
Families receive regular updates and are encouraged to visit during daytime hours. Any notable changes in a resident's wellbeing are communicated promptly by phone or message.
Residential Care in North Point
Dragonwell occupies a particular space in Hong Kong's landscape of elder care — between large institutional facilities and informal home arrangements. For families seeking something smaller, more personal, and grounded in daily routine, a residential home like Dragonwell offers a considered alternative.
North Point is a neighbourhood many older Hong Kong residents have known for decades. The proximity to Tin Hau Temple Road and the surrounding streets gives residents access to familiar sights and sounds, even when they spend most of their time within the home. For some, this sense of continuity is quietly important.
We believe that how an older person spends their days matters — not only to them, but to the families who care about them. A home that runs well, that feels calm and welcoming, and where the people know each other — that is what Dragonwell aims to be.
