Long Term Care

Caring for your elderly loved ones 24 hours a day requires more than just time. Knowing and understanding their growing, and at times complex needs, can be challenging. Demands from work limit the amount of time you can be with them, caring for them, supporting them, and keeping them engaged. Practical challenges such as your living space and physical environment add to the stress of caregiving.

Our nursing care facilities provide all that is needed for long-stay residents. With more than a decade specialising in caring for the elderly, you can be assured that your loved ones will be well taken care of round the clock by our team of professionally trained staff, who regard each resident as family.

Healthy Body

Upon admission, our physiotherapist will assess and develop a personalised rehabilitation plan which is reviewed periodically. Regular individual and group exercises are scheduled to maintain suppleness of muscles and limbs, reduce risk of falls, and facilitate greater independence in performing daily activities.

Good nutrition is important to staying healthy. Our dietician looks into each resident’s medical condition, and prescribes the appropriate diet and nutritional supplements. The fresh meals prepared by our kitchen are approved by our dietician, who also conducts regular checks to ensure quality standards are met.

Healthy Mind

The elderly are at risk of declining mental health. By understanding how mental health has an impact on physical health, we help our residents delay mental deterioration by providing them with activities that stimulate the mind.

We offer a wide range of activities to encourage our residents to keep their mental faculties healthy. Residents with dementia are offered a specially designed programme to reduce their rate of cognitive decline.

Healthy Heart

Being with family and friends, as well as staying engaged with the community, are important for a healthy heart and mind. Doing so provides our residents with a greater sense of belonging, and motivation to stay healthy in their twilight years.

We encourage family and friends to visit often, and spend quality time with their loved ones. They are welcome to join in the array of social and recreational activities organised to engage our residents meaningfully each and every day.

We also welcome volunteers and seek new friends from the community to befriend our residents and bring joy and fulfilment to their days.

Respite Care

Occasionally, respite or short term stay-in care may be required. This could be due to the need for specialised assistance after an operation, or when the caregiver is temporarily unable to care for the elderly.

Short-stay residents benefit from the same level of professional care, programmes and activities offered to long-stay residents. When looking for a long term nursing care facility, a short-stay is a good way to familiarise the elderly with the care and services offered. This helps them decide if the place is suitable for them. Short-stays range from a week to three months.

Caregiver Training

Caring for the elderly who are not independent is a big responsibility. With proper training, caregivers will be confident in providing the care needed for their loved one and better manage their emotional needs. Our training will equip your caregiver with knowledge and hands-on practice relevant to your loved one. Our training programme covers:

Basic skills in caregiving
Personal hygiene and grooming
Nutrition, feeding (including tube feeding) and medication management
