Abstract
Aim: To determine how Christian social services and churches can facilitate the flourishing of older adults in midst of the loss they face in the migration of their adult children and grandchildren. Methodology: Ethnographic through archival study, field observation, and semi-structured interviews. Findings: Capturing the experiences and struggles of left-behind elderly parents support how Christian organisations can support them through this time of transition and facilitates insight into future policy making, such as how to care for and provide support to older adults who live by themselves in Hong Kong. Ultimately, physical and mental health issues will have significant costs to the government and society thereby the role of Christian organisations are important to current and future policy making.
