智障或殘障人士可於家中得到父母或親人照顧，最為理想；但現實是照顧智障或殘障人士的壓力令這些家庭漸漸隱藏自己，在社會大眾視線中退出。香港曾發生中年智障兒子在家中伴母屍達一周至單位傳出惡臭，始由保安員報警揭發事件；這事件正好說明即使家人能應付，隨著時日過去，父母很有可能比需要照顧的子女更早離世，遺留下來的問題既教人心痛，也是值得關注的社會問題。
特首林鄭月娥今日（10月11日）發表其首份施政報告，表明明年年初將進行廣泛的公眾參與活動，讓持份者有系統並充分地討論殘疾人士在不同人生階段的各項康復服務需要及其他相關議題。同時，政府亦將成立「特殊需要信託」，讓有需要的家長可安心自己離世後，其智障或有其他殘疾的子女可透過他們遺下的財產得到適切的照顧。
《活一番》一直關注家庭照顧者的需要，鼓勵照顧者正視自己的需要，並在需要時尋求協助。延伸閱讀：
