Introduction
(English version is not available)
志蓮淨苑始創於1934年，創辦人葦庵法師本擬建造一所傳統式寺院以供僧眾清修，後因國內移民大量湧至，當時社會對福利服務需求甚為殷切，故決定暫時擱置建寺計劃，將原來的古老大屋改為佛殿，而致力於教育及福利服務。 首先在1948年開辦義學，為附近貧窮的失學兒童提供教育機會，繼而於1957年開辦非政府資助的不牟利慈幼院及安老院，收容無依無靠的孤兒及老人。
1980年代，社會經濟好轉，慈幼服務需求銳減，慈幼院逐告停辦，因香港人口不斷老化，淨苑便致力發展安老服務，並推廣佛教文化工作。
1991年，志蓮淨苑將原有之安老院重建為護理安老院，第一期工程於1993年底建成，設有宿位184個，第二期工程於1995年底完成，當時宿位為284個。而至1999年12月，宿位更增至318個。
