This is the Hong Kong Social Welfare Department's own Residential Care Home Register, read here across its entries for Sik Sik Yuen's five sponsored elderly care and attention homes, a public regulatory listing maintained by the Hong Kong government rather than by the charity itself. Its strength is that it is an independently maintained government register, confirming each home's registration status directly rather than relying on Sik Sik Yuen's own claim to operate them. Its limit is that a registration listing confirms the homes exist, are licensed and are operated by the named sponsor, but says nothing about the quality of care or the charity's wider reputation, which needs a source examining that separately.
