Sheltered Home
NTUC Eldercare officially took over the management of the Henderson Senior Citizens' Home, the May Wong Lifestyle Centre and the May Wong Social Centre from the Chinese Women's Association on 2 January 2010. The Home was managed and funded by the Chinese Women's Association from 1978 to 2009.
The Henderson Senior Citizens' Home (HSCH) is a community service which provides residential and respite care for senior citizens.
Residential Care
The
Henderson Senior Citizens' Home provides residential care
for needy elderly who are ambulant and who need a place to stay. Some of the
residents are on Public Assistance Schemes and stay in the Home long
term. The Home also provides short-term residential care for the
elderly (from one to four weeks), so as to aid their families temporarily.
Care Philosophy at the Home
Residents are encouraged to be
independent
by enjoying the freedom of movement, keeping their rooms clean and cooking for
themselves. They also participate in the meaningful and fun activities organised
by the May Wong Social Centre, the May Wong Lifestyle Centre and
other volunteers.
Day Care Programme
The May Wong Social Centre provides full-day care programmes (9am to 5pm) during the weekdays to engage the elderly while their family members are away at work. The full-time supervisor, nurse and care assistants provide professional care to the elderly. A medical doctor visits the elderly regularly. The centre also provides meals and transport services at minimal cost.
Senior Activity Centre
The May Wong Lifestyle Centre is a Senior Activity Centre that organizes social day activities for the elderly. Elderly can exercise in the gym, leisure read in the centre, or enjoy a cup of coffee over chat with friends. There is also a HP Lifestyle Centre, donated by Hewlett Packard.
For more information and enquiries on the services, please contact Henderson Senior Citizens' Home at 6270 6654 or email to hsch@ntuceldercare.org.sg
