Feel right at home with us
What is a nursing home?
A nursing home is a residential care facility dedicated to providing 24/7 nursing care services for elderly and disabled individuals who require clinical monitoring and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). Nursing homes provide skilled nursing and medical care, as well as therapy and rehabilitation services.
What we offer
NTUC Health’s nursing homes are developed with our residents at heart, especially those with dementia and other conditions requiring round-the-clock care. Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to provide a warm and welcoming environment for engaging in both social activities and living.
Through our services and support, your loved one can benefit from their stay and manage their health and well-being at our nursing homes. We encourage our residents to perform simple functional tasks independently, volunteer, be active, and regain autonomy and confidence through our customised rehabilitation programmes. Below are some of the services we offer in our nursing homes.
Interactive spaces
Developed with our residents at heart
Our day spaces are designed to capture a feeling of familiarity, such as a living room, a HDB void deck or a street hawker.
- Reminiscence corners allow your loved one to feel right at home, and to offer sensory and memory stimulation
- Quiet rooms provide added privacy for residents who want some time for themselves in a calming and soothing atmosphere
- Therapeutic gardens for residents to interact with nature and enjoy the fresh air and greenery
24/7 nursing care
We facilitate your loved one's daily life in their new home, by helping them to feel comfortable and empowered to live well.
We believe that personalisation and regular follow-up will help enhance their everyday life with us, in key areas such as:
- Customised plans to meet their individual care needs right from the start
- Regular medical, nutritional, and dental checks aligned with their needs
- Help with daily activities and living, so that they can find the comfort and confidence to lead a fulfilling life
Rehabilitation and exercises to stay active
Our rehabilitation activities encourage residents to remain active and independent based on their functional abilities. They can retain and improve their quality of life through tailored programmes that help them:
- Stay physically active through regular exercises and therapy sessions, with the help of our team of qualified and caring therapists
- Improve strength, mobility, speaking or swallowing abilities through our team of qualified physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech therapists
- Perform daily tasks such as showering, ironing and cooking with rehabilitation programmes
- Regain independence and dignity, and live more comfortably, with optional diaper-free programmes
- Benefit from intensive rehabilitation and work towards the possibility of regaining independence and returning home
Activities and interest groups
It is never too late to live life with joy and purpose. With our activities, your loved one can stimulate their physical senses, develop friendships, reconnect with their passions, or discover new ones.
We encourage our residents to stay active and connected with the community, through:
- Regular activities run by volunteers, such as our Inter-Generational Programme that facilitates activities and interaction with children
- Opportunities to form and drive their own interest groups, such as musical performances, games, and cooking
- Volunteering opportunities with our tight-knit community to extend their skills and time to help fellow residents
