An ageing population with higher life expectancy is also associated with higher prevalence of chronic and other medical conditions. A holistic approach towards caring for the elderly must cover their physical, emotional and mental needs.

We aim to provide affordable healthcare and eldercare services in the community to help the family care for older persons and to allow our elderly to age-in-place in the community.

Intermediate & Long-Term Care Services for the Elderly

There are two broad categories of eldercare or intermediate and long term care (ILTC) health services for the elderly in Singapore. These services are better known as step-down care services and are either managed by Voluntary Welfare Organisations (VWO) or by private operators.
